Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9111975A1] An apparatus for surgically treating tissues, preferably the prostate, using hyperthermia. The apparatus (500) for treating tissues which are accessible with a lumen, comprises a probe (520) inserted in the lumen and including a heating device (518), and is characterized in that it includes a device (600) for temporarily or intermittently increasing the outer diameter of the probe, the device being arranged relative to the probe in order to allow the lumen to dilate when required and at least in the area of the tissues to be treated. A very effective treatment of the prostate can therefore be carried out while dilating the urethra.
