title: Interstitial laser coagulation technique. Executive summary.
abstract: In March 1999, it was again my privilege to moderate a meeting of distinguished colleagues organized by Indigo Medical, Inc. as their BPH Advisory Panel. This executive summary highlights the most important conclusions of our day-long session. Details can be found in the subsequent sections of the publication. Our discussion of ILC technique is based on several exciting new concepts in prostatic anatomy. These concepts are derived from anatomical studies using fresh cadavers that have revealed the structures of the prostate in greater detail than ever before. Such findings are important because the great majority of descriptions of this anatomy are incomplete or inaccurate. An overview of the current clinical anatomy is found in Section VI.
