Abstract:
A 71-year-old man was treated with transurethral microwave thermotherapy because of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The treatment session was performed without any abnormal complaints from the patient. Two hours post-treatment the patient felt pain in his penile shaft and noticed a wound. A thorough investigation revealed that the only possible explanation for the injury was a dislocation of the catheter.
