A new technique is described for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with local hyperthermia applied transurethrally by an electromagnetic wave generator. A series of 72 treatment sessions given to 16 patients sustaining an indwelling catheter is reported. The patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 10 patients who received 60 treatment sessions (six 60-min sessions each with 43 degrees C during 3 weeks). In group 2 there were 6 patients who received a total of 12 treatment sessions (two 120-min sessions each with a temperature of up to 44.5 degrees C for 1 week). Five of the 10 patients from group 1 (50%) and 4 of 6 patients from group 2 (67%) were relieved of the catheter and have been able to void satisfactorily during the 7- to 14-month (mean 10.1 +/- 2.8) follow-up period. The overall success rate in this series of 16 patients was 56.3%.
描述了一种治疗良性前列腺增生的新技术，即通过电磁波发生器经尿道施加局部热疗。报告了对16名留置导尿管患者进行的一系列72次治疗。患者分为两组。第一组由10名患者组成，接受60次治疗（每次60分钟，共6次，在3周内每次温度为43摄氏度）。第二组有6名患者，共接受12次治疗（每次120分钟，共2次，温度高达44.5摄氏度，持续1周）。第一组10名患者中有5名（50%），第二组6名患者中有4名（67%）拔除了导尿管，并且在7至14个月（平均10.1±2.8个月）的随访期内能够顺利排尿。这16名患者的总体成功率为56.3%。
