[Comparative analysis of various techniques of prostatic drainage in patients with chronic obstructive prostatitis]

The efficacy of prostatic drainage using transurethral vacuum aspiration (Introl-4 unit) and transrectal pneumovibromassage (PVM-R-01) was compared in 1511 patients with chronic obstructive prostatitis. The drainage was accompanied by local (urethral, rectal and urethral-rectal tripsin or chimotripsin electrophoresis) or systemic enzymic therapy (vobenzim). The highest effect of the drainage was achieved in patients pretreated for 5-7 days with systemic enzymes. Transrectal pneumovibromassage proved more effective and safe but the transurethral technique if indicated can be also used in the combined treatment.
