title: [Obstructive complications of brachytherapy: endoscopic methods of treatment].
abstract: The article is devoted to evaluating the results of the use of endoscopic treatment in patients with obstructive complications after brachytherapy for prostate cancer. The study included 51 patients diagnosed with T1-T3 stage prostate cancer, who underwent interstitial radiation therapy with 1125. The authors have analyzed the effectiveness of various endoscopic operative interventions--internal urethrotomy, recanalization of the urethra, prostate and urethral prosthetic repair, transurethral resection and incision of the prostate gland--against the background of radiation damage to the urethra and prostate.
