TUVP
Transurethral vaporization of the prostate (TUVP), also called vaportrode, involves direct application of heat (under 100° F) to the prostate tissue with a grooved roller-bar that vaporizes tissue. The immediate tissue loss leads to quick improvement of symptoms. The procedure takes from 20 to 65 minutes. The catheter is usually removed within 24 hours and most patients go home within 2 days.
