prostate adenoma treatment thermotherapy ? histology
summary
- Objective. Thermotherapy (Radiofrequency-TURF or Microwave-TUMT) is one of
- the minimally invasive instrumental procedures for treatment of patients with benign
- prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
- Material and method. The purpose of the study was to evaluate prostatic histological
- lesions of patients submitted to the open prostatectomy or TURP after TURF.
- Histology of 15 surgical specimens revealed heavy inflamatory cellular reaction
- different from typical bacterial Prostatitis.
- Conclusion. There were no significant difficulty in the surgical procedures (open
- prostatectomy or TURP) of patients who underwent TURF in Comparison with these
- who did not.
