[Localized transrectal hyperthermia. Transurethral hyperthermia and thermotherapy in the treatment of benign hyperplasia of the prostate].

Abstract

Based on the experience of the treatment of 341 patients, applying transrectal hyperthermia, transuretral hyperthermia and TUT methods, the results in different groups of patients are assessed. Transrectal hyperthermia was used for the treatment of 40 patients with a first stage BPH, 39 patients with a first stage BPH combined with a chronic prostatitis, 34 patients with a second stage BPH combined with chronic prostatitis, 30 patients after acute urinary retention, 24 patients with suprapubic diversion. TUT was used in 54 patients, and TUMH in 46 patients with BPH. Conclusions suggest use of these methods for the treatment of BPH in general, and for complicated BPH in particular. It has been proposed that, provided these methods are properly used, they are most effective for patients after acute urine obstruction and suprapubic diversion.
