    Summary

    Cryotherapy offers a new treatment option for bladder neck adenomas and prostate cancer in patients with severe health issues. This method successfully removed catheters in two-thirds of patients, improving their quality of life.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology
    • Cryosurgery

    Context:

    • This study investigates the application of cryotherapy in managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer.
    • Patients included had significant urinary retention due to adenomas of the bladder neck or prostate cancer.
    • Transurethral resection (TUR) was contraindicated in these patients due to severe comorbidities.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cryotherapy as a treatment for patients with bladder neck adenomas and prostate carcinoma.
    • To assess the potential of cryotherapy to alleviate symptoms of urinary retention and reduce the need for long-term catheterization.

    Summary:

    • Cryotherapy was performed on 15 patients with contraindications for open surgery.
    • Two-thirds of the patients were successfully weaned off permanent catheterization.
    • One-third of patients required continued catheterization post-treatment, indicating variable outcomes.

    Impact:

    • Cryotherapy presents a viable alternative treatment for select patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.
    • The procedure demonstrated success in improving bladder outlet obstruction and reducing catheter dependence in a majority of cases.
    • Further research is warranted to optimize cryotherapy protocols and patient selection for improved outcomes.
