Appts. for minimally invasive treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia - involves adenomectomy supported by vacuum catheter inserted into urethra for suction of excess mucal secretion in regional prostate glands

摘要

A long, hollow, cannula-type instrument (1) is used with a connection for a variably adjustable vacuum pump for enucleative measures on a prostate gland enlarged by adenomas. As a supportive measure and for preventing harm to the urethra a vacuum catheter is available, which has sieve-type cover holes in the front area for the prostate part of the urethra, in order to suck away excess manually developed secretion out of the enlarged prostate. A third measure involves a variably expandable balloon (3) for the lower rectum at the level of the enlarged prostate (6) which works with a connecting hose (4), valve (5) and pressure pump (P+). The actual enucleation and adenomectomy are effected by a laser appts. with light conductor which fits into the cannula. USE/ADVANTAGE - For the percutaneous, space-saving enucleation and adenomectomy treatment of prostate hyperplasia.
