ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for necrosing tissue are disclosed. Also disclosed are a method and apparatus for treatment of urinary neck blockage and benign prostate hypertrophy. A catheter provided with a heating means and an inflatable balloon is inserted into the urethra so that the heating means is in proximity to the prostate gland and the inflatable bladder attached to the end of the catheter protrudes into the urinary bladder. The bladder is inflated in the urinary bladder to facilitate positioning of the heating means. The heating means is positioned and is then heated for a period of time sufficient to cause necrosis of the tissue lining of the prostate.
