A small percentage of patients with infra-vesical obstruction cannot tolerate open or transurethral prostatectomy. In these cases cryoprostatectomy is a possibility, we have, however, used another method based on heat destruction of the tissue. The results in 24 poor-risk patients were satisfactory, without any serious postoperative complications, and with excellent long-term results in 80% of the cases. The only complication is a high rate of incontinence. Until this problem has been solved the procedure should be reserved for poor-risk patients.
一小部分膀胱下梗阻患者无法耐受开放性或经尿道前列腺切除术。在这些情况下，冷冻前列腺切除术是一种选择，然而，我们采用了另一种基于组织热破坏的方法。24例高危患者的治疗结果令人满意，没有任何严重的术后并发症，80%的病例长期效果良好。唯一的并发症是尿失禁发生率较高。在这个问题得到解决之前，该手术应仅用于高危患者。
