Transurethral microwave thermotherapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia--experience with the Prostcare.

World journal of urology·2002

Transurethral microwave thermotherapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia can cause catheter dislocation, leading to penile injury. Prompt investigation is crucial for diagnosing and managing this complication.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Therapies

Background:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) affects a significant number of aging men.
  • Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) is a common treatment for symptomatic BPH.

Observation:

  • A 71-year-old male patient underwent TUMT for BPH.
  • The procedure was completed without immediate complications.
  • Two hours post-procedure, the patient reported penile shaft pain and observed a wound.

Findings:

  • A detailed examination indicated catheter dislocation as the sole cause of the penile injury.
  • This suggests a potential complication associated with TUMT catheterization.

Implications:

  • Catheter management during and after TUMT requires careful attention.

  • Physicians should consider catheter dislocation in the differential diagnosis of post-TUMT penile pain and injury.
  • Further research may be needed to refine catheterization protocols during TUMT to prevent such adverse events.
