ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a novel method and apparatus for treatment of a diseased internal organ, specifically, the male prostrate gland. The method and apparatus are specific to a transperineal approach to the prostrate gland. The apparatus comprises a catheter containing a plurality of lumens therethrough, an inflatable transparent member in fluid communication with one of the lumens and placed on the distal end of the catheter, and visualizing means to allow for visualization of the area to be treated through said inflatable member. Upon inflation, the inflatable member aids in the separation of the prostrate gland from the rectal wall. Additionally, treating means can be inserted through another of the lumens in order to obtain the desired systemic effect on the prostate gland.
