I have enlarged prostate and I want minimally invasive procedure. Do you have TUMT or similar procedure in your hospital. |

Dear Sanjeev Transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT) is an outpatient procedure to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.It's used less often now and has generally been replaced by newer treatments. During TUMT, a small microwave antenna is inserted through the tip of penis into the urethra. The surgeon extends the antenna until it reaches the part of the urethra surrounded by the prostate. The antenna emits a dose of microwave energy that heats up and destroys excess prostate. We are doing TURP, the gold standard for the treatment of the enlarged prostate in our hospital. Thanks With Regards Dr J S Chowhan |
