METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE EFFICIENCY OF TRANSURETHRAL MICROWAVE THERMOTHERAPY AT BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA

摘要

FIELD: medicine, urology. SUBSTANCE: at early period after conducting transurethral microwave thermotherapy one should carry out Doppler ultrasound scanning. Resistivity index in capsular arteries is determined not only before treatment, but a month after it is finished. In case this index is 10% (or more) lower against its initial value it is possible to predict the effect of therapy conducted. EFFECT: higher accuracy of prediction.
