Interstitial laser-assisted thermocoagulation (ILC) is a simple and minimally invasive procedure for destroying tumors of the prostate gland which preserves the prostatic urethra and bladder outlet, restricts bleeding, provides a short postoperative monitoring, and also destroys carcinomas of the inner parts of the gland. We present our experiences on 42 patients who have been treated until June, 1992. If long-term observations confirm our positive results in benign prostatic hyperplasia, then a minimally invasive procedure which could replace transurethral resection in a large number of cases will have been discovered. This technique might also be used for inner-gland neoplasias and palliatively in prostatic cancer.
间质内激光辅助热凝固术（ILC）是一种简单且微创的手术，用于破坏前列腺肿瘤，该手术可保留前列腺尿道和膀胱出口，减少出血，术后监测时间短，还能破坏前列腺内部的癌组织。我们介绍了截至1992年6月接受治疗的42例患者的经验。如果长期观察证实我们在良性前列腺增生方面取得的积极成果，那么将会发现一种在大量病例中可替代经尿道切除术的微创手术。该技术也可用于前列腺内部肿瘤以及前列腺癌的姑息治疗。
