Authors' objectives:
The purpose of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) is to relieve urinary symptoms and improve urinary function by reducing urinary obstruction caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. Ablation of obstructive tissue is achieved via the transurethral application of microwave- generated heat focused on the lateral lobes of the prostate with simultaneous cooling to prevent damage to adjacent tissues.
