1. Feedback thermotherapy for benign prostatic enlargement : A clinical and methodological evaluation
Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate a new treatment strategy for symptomatic benign prostatic enlargement.The transurethral thermotherapy (TUMT) antenna design was studied. The design influences the heating-profile significantly and the absorbed energy in a target volume were only about 13-20% of the energy delivered. LÄS MER
2. On the natural history, diagnosis and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Sammanfattning : 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). LÄS MER
3. Sleep and quality of life in men with lower urinary tract symptoms : and their partners
Sammanfattning : Aims: The overall aim was to determine how lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) affect sleep, health related quality of life and disease specific quality of life, and how the men’s urinary symptoms affect their partners.Subjects and methods: In papers I–II, a descriptive design with a pre-test and post-test was used and in papers III-IV the design was descriptive and comparative.

4. Urodynamic modelling and measurement techniques for assessment of urethral function during micturition
Sammanfattning : According to Griffiths' theory of flow through elastic tubes the urinary flow is controlled by an elastic constriction. The mechanical properties of this flow-controlling zone are described by the intrinsic urethral pressure as a function of cross-sectional area given by the pressure/area relation p(A)=pmo + KnAn, where pmo is the minimal urethral opening pressure, A the cross-sectional area and Kn and n are parameters describing the distensibility of this zone.

5. Transurethral microwave thermotherapy and transurethral resection of the prostate. Evaluation and development
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
