What is Cooled ThermoTherapy?
Prior to 1993, surgery was the therapeutic solution available for
men with BPH. This surgical procedure is called a TURP
(Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), where the inner portion
of the prostate is removed. TURP surgery has a higher incidence of
complications including, erectile dysfunction (Ed), ejaculation
problems and urinary incontinence. Today, many men use BPH
medication to treat their symptoms. But there is another effective
minimally invasive therapy. Cooled ThermoTherapy is one of the
leading minimally invasive procedures for BPH and
Dr. Robert Pugach is one of the most experienced urologist in the
Western United States in thermotherapy.
Cooled ThermoTherapy is
performed at Pacific Coast Urology Medical Center in one our large
procedure rooms. The room is equipped with a large flat screen
television mounted on the ceiling! The procedure takes 30
minutes and you will be awake, watching cable television, while the
procedure is being performed.
Cooled ThermoTherapy delivers
precisely targeted energy to destroy enlarged prostate tissue.
The cooling mechanism protects the healthy surrounding urethral
tissue. The concentrated energy is effective in destroy
enlarged prostate tissue and provides long-lasting reduction in BPH
symptoms. Cooled ThermoTherapy is covered by Medicare and most
major health insurers.
