A newly published Danish study has evaluated the efficacy and safety of CoreTherm® in men with prostate sizes exceeding 100 grams. The median prostate size among participants was 126 g (range: 101-230 g). The results demonstrate that more than 80% of patients experiencing urinary retention, requiring either an indwelling catheter or self-catheterization, were able to urinate spontaneously at the six-month follow-up after treatment.
The authors conclude that CoreTherm® provides a satisfactory effect in the majority of treated patients and that the findings suggest that CoreTherm® is a safe and effective treatment option for men with significantly enlarged prostates.

About CoreTherm®
CoreTherm® is a minimally invasive transurethral microwave thermotherapy for benign prostatic enlargement (BPH). The treatment is performed in an outpatient setting under local anaesthesia and takes less than 15 minutes. No general anaesthesia or spinal block is needed. Follow-up data five years after CoreTherm® treatment shows clinical outcomes comparable to those seen after surgery/TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate), but with lower risk of serious complications.
