    Abstract

    We explain the basic physics of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Modifications of electrodes or high-frequency units that should improve TURP are discussed. Finally, we introduce Coagulating Intermittent Cutting (CIC), which is a TURP using a modified high-frequency generator. Results of in vitro experiments and the first data from a multicenter trial are demonstrated.
