Recently, increasing enthusiasm has been shown for application of lasers for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). However, little is known about the thermodynamics of prostatic tissue response during laser irradiation and how the treatment outcome can be optimized. Our objective was to conduct a systematic study of the influence of exposure parameters on the extent of tissue coagulation and to determine the effects of rate of tissue heating on lesion size by comparing the tissue response to high laser power rapid heating vs. low laser power slow heating.
