[Role of prostatic stents and transurethral microwave thermotherapy in the treatment of voiding disorders related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (CTMH-AFU forum 2005)].
Prostatic stents and microwave thermotherapy are minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of voiding disorders related to benign prostatic hyperplasia. A review of the literature evaluates the place of these treatments in 2006. Permanent prostatic stenting is rarely used, but remains a treatment option for patients with obstructive disorders and a formal anaesthetic contraindication. Temporary stenting can be used to predict the effect of resection in selected patients. Finally, microwave thermotherapy, not widely used in France, has a promising clinical efficacy and occupies a place between medical treatment and surgery.
