To describe the University of Florida experience with minimally invasive therapies in the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Typically, the standard surgical treatment for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has been transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Due to the morbidity associated with TURP, several minimally invasive therapies, such as laser, microwaves, high intensity focused ultrasound, and radiofrequency needle ablation, have been utilized to treat BPH.
The authors review their experience, along with that of others, with various forms of heat therapy in the treatment of BPH.
Although high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), interstitial laser, and microwaves procedures have been shown to be effective in the treatment of BPH, our experience has been with laser, VaporTrode, and TUNA. We found that VaporTrode and TUNA currently offer several advantages over many of the other modalities.
描述佛罗里达大学在良性前列腺增生（BPH）手术治疗中采用微创治疗的经验。
通常，有症状的良性前列腺增生（BPH）的标准手术治疗方法是经尿道前列腺切除术（TURP）。由于TURP存在相关并发症，几种微创治疗方法，如激光、微波、高强度聚焦超声和射频针消融，已被用于治疗BPH。
作者回顾了他们自己以及其他人在采用各种热疗形式治疗BPH方面的经验。
尽管高强度聚焦超声（HIFU）、间质激光和微波治疗已被证明对BPH有效，但我们的经验是使用激光、汽化电极和经尿道针刺消融术（TUNA）。我们发现，目前汽化电极和TUNA相对于许多其他治疗方式具有若干优势。
