As part of a multicenter investigative trial, transurethral microwave thermotherapy of the prostate was used in 60 men with symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy. A single office treatment on the Prostatron, a device that provides concurrent microwave heating of the prostate and conductive cooling of the urethra, was well tolerated and caused no major adverse events. Symptomatic improvement, especially the decrease in nocturia and urgency, was dramatic, and urinary flow was improved at 6 weeks. Continued follow-up suggests that further improvement will be achieved and that transurethral microwave thermotherapy has a role in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy.
作为一项多中心调查性试验的一部分，60名有症状的良性前列腺增生男性接受了经尿道前列腺微波热疗。使用Prostatron设备在门诊进行单次治疗，该设备可同时对前列腺进行微波加热并对尿道进行传导冷却，耐受性良好，未引起重大不良事件。症状改善显著，尤其是夜尿症和尿急症状减轻，6周时尿流有所改善。持续随访表明将进一步改善，经尿道微波热疗在良性前列腺增生的治疗中具有一定作用。
