High-energy transurethral microwave thermotherapy in men with lower urinary tract symptoms.

Abstract:

:Since 1993, we have treated patients having lower urinary tract symptoms and benign prostatic obstruction using the high-energy transurethral microwave thermotherapy (HE-TUMT) protocol (Prostasoft; software version 2.5). This study was conducted to investigate the outcome and durability of this treatment. A series of 301 patients with a mean prostate size of 56.4 cc were treated by HE-TUMT if they had a Madsen Symptom Score > or = 8, a maximum flow rate < 15 mL/sec, a voided volume > or = 100 mL, and a postvoiding residual volume < 350 mL. The prostate volume measured by transrectal ultrasonography was > or = 25 cc. Follow-up visits were scheduled at 12, 52, 78, and 104 weeks. Patients were stratified according to the response evaluation criteria set at the 3rd International Consultation on Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. These response criteria were measured at 12 weeks. At 2 years, there appeared to be a better response in the bigger prostates. Irrespective of relief of outflow obstruction, a good symptomatic response was seen in both good and poor responders. Twenty-two patients were re-treated during the 2-year follow-up period: three underwent bladder neck incision, nine transurethral resection, two laser prostatectomy, one open prostatectomy, and seven additional medical therapy. At 2-year follow-up, HE-TUMT resulted in a durable good outcome in 93% of patients with an objective improvement rate of 42% and a subjective improvement rate of 65%. The best predictor of durability appeared to be the extent of relief of obstruction. Of the 96 bad responders in this group, 14 underwent retreatment, compared with 6 of the 100 good responders.
