Hello lauren0125,

After extensive research, I finally located the number of discharges
for the following two procedures in Spain (2002).

Prostatectomia Transuretral Con CC 
Number of discharges

Prostatectomia Transuretral Sin CC
Number of discharges

Note:
Con means with
Sin means without.

Would this information be of your interest?

Thanks,
Bobbie7
