Abstract EN
Our objectives were to study and to evaluate thermotherapy for patients with retention of urine.
The ability of the patient to pass urine without significant post voiding residue was also studied.
Eighty six patients presented with urinary retention were treated by transurethral thermo therapy of the prostate, two weeks following thermo therapy 55 patients (63.9 %) were catheter free and by the third week only 9 patients (10.4 %) were still with catheter.
It can be concluded that thermo therapy can be an option in the treatment of urinary retention and keeping the catheter for one more week can raise its effectiveness.
