[Transurethral microwave thermotherapy for XXXX ].

@entity1 @entity1067 @entity4 @entity811 @entity1876
Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) of prostate was administered to 10 @entity1 with @entity1876 due to @entity1067 . The mean age of the @entity1 was 74.4 years (range 63 to 85). The Prostatron device, which provides microwave heating of the prostate and conductive cooling of the urethra was used, and the prostate was heated with a calculated intraprostatic temperature of 45.5 degrees C for 55 minutes. No anesthesia was required for most of the @entity1 . The clinical effects were evaluated at 4-6 weeks and 3 months after treatment. The symptomatic scores improved in the majority of @entity1 . There was no significant change in prostate volume. The maximum flow rate and average flow rate were increased at 6 weeks and 3 months, but there was no significant change. The only side effects were transient @entity811 and short-term obstruction secondary to urethral @entity4 . In comparing TUMT with the transurethral resection of prostate (TUR-P), the maximum flow rate after TUMT was lower than that after TUR-P and the improvement of residual urine after TUMT was lower than that after TUR-P.
