Microwave Prostate Therapy

Microwave Prostate Therapy is a non-invasive treatment of enlarged prostate using microwave and ultrasound technology. Microwave energy is transmitted to the prostate via a transuretheal catheter while cool water is simultaneously circulated through this catheter to prevent thermal damage to surrounding tissues. It is performed under a local anesthetic with only minor discomfort.
