Tóm tắt

Nine patients with severe dysuria caused by prostatic cancer received prostatic microwave coagulation under intraoperative real-time ultrasonic scanning. During the procedure, the microwave applicator was clearly observed, and the coagulation region appeared as an hyperechoic area compared to the noncoagulated region. Intraoperative real-time ultrasonic scanning allowed safer and more efficacious application of prostatic microwave coagulation.
