[The treatment of prostatic adenoma by transurethral microwave therapy]

Patients with adenoma of the prostate appear to benefit from application of the unit "Prostatron" in one session without anesthesiologic maintenance and under outpatient conditions in the absolute majority of cases, as evidenced by reports from abroad and our own experience gained in the treatment of patients with adenoma of the prostate. This permits it to be recommended for widespread use in urological settings. Clinical, uroflowmetric and ultrasonic monitoring of the urogenital system status in patients with adenoma of the prostate, which is to be delivered in all such patients,--if used in combination with TUMWT,--becomes a means of really active assessment of treatment effectiveness rather than a passive recording of the moment of worsening of the patient' state.
