One hundred and fifty patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) underwent transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT). The single 1-hour TUMT session in the clinic was well tolerated and without significant adverse events. The mean Madsen urinary symptom score declined from 11.3 to 2.1 with a concomitant 54% increase in peak urinary flow rates by 4 months. Of the 22 patients with catheter-dependent urinary retention, 91% became catheter free. These early results appear to establish TUMT as an effective treatment of symptomatic BPH.
150例有症状的良性前列腺增生（BPH）患者接受了经尿道微波热疗（TUMT）。门诊单次1小时的TUMT治疗耐受性良好，且无明显不良事件。4个月时，Madsen平均泌尿系统症状评分从11.3降至2.1，同时最大尿流率相应增加了54%。在22例依赖导尿管排尿的患者中，91%不再需要导尿管。这些早期结果似乎表明TUMT是治疗有症状BPH的一种有效方法。
