In this process, is heated above the urethral tissue by microwaves. Depending on the type of device used to distinguish the low-energy TUMT and the high-energy TUMT:
Low-energy TUMT: By heating the prostate tissue takes up to 55 degrees from the narrowing only slightly better but the symptoms in those affected often.
High-energy TUMT: Here are produced temperatures above 55 degrees. This leads to a significantly greater decrease in tissue pressure on the urethra and produce better results than in the low-energy TUMT.
Alternative for high-risk patients
TUMT is a procedure that can be used and outpatient without anesthesia. Complications are rare. However, it appears at the beginning of treatment initially a temporary worsening of symptoms. Also, there may possibly be necessary to derive the urine after treatment with a catheter. Treatment should only be performed by an experienced therapist. It is recommended for patients at risk.
