Clinical experience with transurethral microwave thermotherapy for chronic nonbacterial prostatitis and prostatodynia.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Ablation by cold (cryoablation) or radiofrequency energy (RFA), has been popularized for the treatment of small renal tumors. Regrettably, there currently is no reliable method of radiologically monitoring the propagation of RF lesions in real time. Ultrasonography enhanced by gas-filled microbub...
