A Comparative Study on the Clinical Outcomes of Bipolar Radiofrequency Thermotherapy Versus Transurethral Resection of the Prostate in Storage Symptoms Associated With Benign Prostatic Obstruction
It was determined that RF thermotherapy was 2.35 times more effective than TURP on OAB-V8 scores. In addition to its acceptable effect on Qmax, its continued effect on storage symptoms at 6 months may be a significant advantage over the TURP. As a minimally invasive method, RF thermotherapy can be offered as a suitable option for BPO patients with storage symptoms.
