| Abstrakt: |
The authors employed transurethral radiofrequency thermodestruction (TRT) in 27 BPH patients with infravesical obstruction and grave somatic status excluding radical surgery. 17 of them had cystostomic drainage. A single procedure was not long and ran without general anesthesia. In patients able to urinate objective and subjective improvement was recorded, in those with cystostomic drainage suprapubic fistula was eliminated in 10 patients. In some cases TRT produced the results comparable to transurethral resection of the prostate. TRT complications comprise mainly infection and inflammation (11.1%). By efficacy and safety TRT occupies an intermediate position between thermotherapy and prostatic transurethral resection. This method is alternative in BPH patients with cystostoma and severe associated diseases. |
