ABSTRACT:
A device for prostate treatment is inserted into a prostatic portion of an urethra and connected to an energy source. Energy is delivered to the prostate from the device. The amount of energy emitted to prostatic tissue adjacent to a bladder is greater than that emitted to prostatic tissue distant from the bladder.
