“…Since the thermal dose-response relationship for prostatic and surrounding tissues and the optimum combination of time and temperature for BPH treatment have yet to be established, different approaches and temperature schedules have been performed on BPH on the basis of experience or other clinical suggestions (16,21). Many urologists are more supportive of the cell necrosis of thermal injury during thermotherapy applied to BPH.…”

Transmittance Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy combined with differential scanning calorimetry was used to simulate the clinically transurethral thermotherapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by in vitro isothermal determination. The simulative study to the thermotherapy of epithelium or stroma in BPH tissue was performed at 47 degrees C for 3 h, like clinical therapy. Whether thermal treatment can induce changes in the secondary structure of epithelium or stroma in BPH tissue was investigated. The results indicate that the epithelium and stroma in BPH tissue had different protein secondary structures, due to the different compositions of the epithelium and stroma. No significant change was evidenced in secondary structure for each sample either before or after isothermal study, suggesting the integrality and safety of BPH thermotherapy in a 47 degrees C for 3 h treatment course.

Transurethral radiofrequency thermotherapy for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia was performed in 50 selected patients, using the THERMEX II device. High surgical risk patients were included, among them 13 previously catheterized ones, because of unresolved retention for more than 6 months. The treatment consisted of a three-hour single session at 47 degrees C. Follow-up studies were carried out at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months using Madsen score, maximum flow rate, residual urine volume determinations and prostate bulk measurement by transrectal ultrasound. Subjective and objective improvement (of more than two parameters) was noticed in 62% of the patients. Prostatic volume did not change. In the retention group 54% of the patients remained free of catheter. Postoperative histology in 8 cases that failed to respond, revealed focal haemorrhagic and necrotic changes in periurethral glandular tissue. This is a promising method for selected high risk patients that achieves reasonable but not comparable results to TURP and requires further investigation in larger patient groups with BPH.

Transurethral Needle Ablation of the Prostate: A Urodynamic Based Study With 2-Year Followup

Transurethral prostate resection is a safe and effective technique for treating lower urinary tract symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia. The technique can be performed in the office as an outpatient, or as a same day surgical procedure, using topical anesthesia with intravenous sedation, if necessary. In the majority of patients subjective and objective improvements were sustained for the duration of this study, which included 2-year followup with pressure-flow studies.
