TRANSURETHRAL MICROWAVE THERMOTHERAPY FOR BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA: CLINICAL OUTCOME AFTER 4 YEARS

Abstract

Four years after transurethral microwave thermotherapy 23% of the initially treated group were satisfied with the result. Two-thirds had received supplementary BPH treatment. Preoperatively less obstructed patients and those with low initial irritative scores responded more favorably to transurethral microwave thermotherapy treatment.
