| Procedimiento que se usa para tratar la hipertrofia prostática benigna (HPB). Se inserta una sonda pequeña que emite energía de radiofrecuencia de nivel bajo a través de la uretra hasta la próstata. La energía de la sonda calienta y destruye el tejido anormal de la próstata sin dañar a la uretra. También se llama ablación transuretral con aguja. |
