Other forms of non-aggressive prostate therapy

The benign growth of the male prostate gland is called "benign prostatic hypertrophy" in medical circles, in short, BPH. In our clinic, we treat BPH with medication and with various methods, which we select according to the individual diagnoses after extensive examination and consultation.

Microwave thermotherapy, using the ProstaLund method (PLFT)

The ProstaLund method is a highly developed method of microwave treatment. A treatment catheter that is inserted through the urethra heats those parts of the prostate tissue that cause problems with microwaves, destroying them.

Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA)

The prostate tissue is treated with high-frequency currents using two very thin needles that are inserted through the urethra, while avoiding the urethral mucosa, parallel to the tissue. In doing so, temperatures of up to 98° C develop in the tissue, leading to a shrinking of the tissue.

Greenlight laser therapy

The latest development in the treatment of benign prostate enlargements (benign prostatic hypertrophy, BPH) is the development of a special laser which, in contrast to the current laser systems, has a wavelength of 532 nm. This Greenlight Power Laser with its particularly high output of 120 watts has the advantage that the light of this wavelength is optimally absorbed by blood vessels and blood-rich tissue. Our clinic was the first in Germany to use this procedure. Almost any size prostate can be treated with the Power Laser (=> more information).
