Transurethral Needle Ablation (TUNA) - Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA), procedure delivers low level radio frequency (RF) energy to the prostate, relieving obstruction without causing damage to the urethra. A small probe is inserted through the urethra and into the prostate. Two small electrodes are deployed into the prostate and a low level of radio frequency energy is applied. The energy heats the prostate tissue and shrinks it, relieving the obstruction while protecting the urethra and surrounding areas. The TUNA procedure can be performed in an office or hospital outpatient center in less than 1 hour using minimal anesthesia. Clinical studies have demonstrated that TUNA provides significant improvements in urine flow and other symptoms of BPH. Its long-term side effects are minor compared with those of such conventional procedures as TURP. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within 24 hours.
