Abstract
A direct electrically heated ceramic coagulation tip for interstitial thermoablation has been developed. Both the coagulation tip and a laser system (Medilas 4060) were tested in vitro to compare their efficacies. We have obtained coagulation necroses of similar sizes. The electrical coagulation tip as opposed to laser coagulation is a new therapeutic option for the therapy of high risk patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia. Because of the materials used and the principle of heating involved, certain economic and safety advantages over the laser system are offered.Entities:
