1. 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
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. Transurethral resection of the prostate : how to reduce morbidity
Sammanfattning : Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard method for surgical treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Despite the more recent introduction of medical therapies for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), the high efficacy of TURP still makes it one of the most common surgical operations worldwide and approximately 6,000 such operations are performed every year in Sweden.

4. Development of Feedback Microwave Thermotherapy in Symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Sammanfattning : Abstract: The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate ProstaLund Feedback Treatment® (PLFT®) and the CoreTherm® device with regard to biophysics, mechanisms of action, treatment indications, additional techniques, efficacy and safety in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The application of two biophysical equations in the PLFT software is explained. LÄS MER
5. Transurethral resection of the prostate: studies on efficacy, morbidity and costs
Sammanfattning : Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), based on benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), are increasingly common, in ageing men. A considerable amount of men will ultimately progress with deteriorating symptoms or with the occurrence of complications secondary to obstruction of the bladder outlet, for example, urinary retention (UR).
