TUMT-transurethral microwave thermotherapyThe prostate hyperthermia uses a harmless microwave catheter. |
Concerning potency and continence the risks are clearly less than with other methods. The transurethral microwave thermotherapy (through the urethra) is favourably applied for prostate carcinomas, benign prostate hyperplasia and prostitis. The procedure of the treatment After the comfortable bedding of the patient a local anaesthesia of the bladder will be applied. Afterwards a spiral applicator (MU 100) will be inserted in the urethra and the urinary bladder. This spiral applicator is a balloon catheter with a microwave antenna (40 till 50 mm length of the antenna, depending on the size of the prostate). There it will be positioned and inflated with an acyetic liquid. After an one hour treatment (overheating of the prostate) and automatically documentation of the achieved temperature per minute the special catheter will be withdrawn. For one day the patient should stay in the clinic or at least close by. |
