Transperineal interstitial laser ablation of the prostate, a novel option for minimally invasive treatment of benign prostatic obstruction

摘要

Background: In the algorithm of treatment of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO), the shift from medical therapy to surgery is steep in terms of invasiveness. Recently, a lively interest has developed on alternative micro-invasive options. Transperineal interstitial laser ablation (TPLA) was recently proposed for BPO treatment.
