Transurethral microwave thermotherapy

Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) is one of a number of effective and safe procedures used in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). TUMT provides a one-time efficacious treatment of LUTS due to BPH. It is an alternative treatment to pharmacotherapy such as Alpha blockers, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), transurethral needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA), photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) and prostatic removal or prostatectomy.
