['To determine the efficacy of video-resection systems in reducing the risk of corneal contamination during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and thus in decreasing the possibility of transmission of blood-borne diseases from the patient.', 'After performing a TURP using a video camera system in 30 patients, the number of potential corneal droplets was measured for one operator wearing a pair of spectacles and, for a second operator, over an identically sized area of a standard disposable plastic eyeshield.', 'In 20 (67%) of cases, droplets were observed on the eye protection, correlating with potential corneal contamination. Splashes were also seen on the face-mask of the eyeshield.'] Does video-resection stop corneal contamination during transurethral resection of the prostate?
