Necrosis of the Urethra and Tissue Sloughing: A Delayed Complication after Transurethral Microwave Thermotherapy

Journal of Endourology, 1998

Abstract

Transurethral microwave thermotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia designed to destroy hyperplastic tissue without damaging the urethra. We present an unexpected complication of prostatic urethral necrosis and tissue sloughing after thermotherapy and discuss its possible cause.
