2. 1. Transurethral microwave thermotherapy and transurethral resection of the prostate. Evaluation and development

   Author : Fredrik Stenmark; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TUMT; CoreTherm; The CoreTherm Concept; TURP; Adrenaline;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common among men and become more prevalent with increasing age. One frequent cause is benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Patients with LUTS/BPO can be ameliorated if the obstructive tissue is removed. READ MORE

4. 2. Development of Feedback Microwave Thermotherapy in Symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

   Author : Sonny Schelin; Urologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nephrology; Urologi; nefrologi; Urology; PET; Schelin Catheter; epinephrine; local anaesthetics; microwave thermotherapy; intraprostatic blood flow; PLFT; Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia; intraprostatic temperature; CoreTherm;

   Abstract : Abstract: The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate ProstaLund Feedback Treatment® (PLFT®) and the CoreTherm® device with regard to biophysics, mechanisms of action, treatment indications, additional techniques, efficacy and safety in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The application of two biophysical equations in the PLFT software is explained. READ MORE

5. 3. On the natural history, diagnosis and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia

   Author : Stepan Vesely; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Lower urinary tract symptoms LUTS ; benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH ; bladder outlet obstruction; transurethral prostatectomy TURP ; transurethral microwave thermotherapy TUMT ;

   Abstract : There are a number of important issues which remain unknown or poorly understood in the natural history of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The standard investigation of patients with BPH gives controversial results in relation to the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). READ MORE

6. 4. Transurethral microwave thermotherapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia : mechanisms of action and clinical outcome

   Author : Marianne Brehmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : benign prostatic hyperplasia; transurethral microwave thermotherapy; clinical outcome; sham treatment; innervation; urethral sensitivity; necrosis; apoptosis; prostatic stromal cells in culture;

   Abstract : Background: The therapeutic value of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a matter of debate. Aims: Evaluation of the clinical effect of TUMT and of various duration of the treatment; investigation of the kind and extent of tissue lesions induced by TUMT and of the mechanisms behind the therapeutic effect; investigation of the effect of heat on human prostate stromal cells in cell culture.
