A device for heat treatment of prostate, comprising a treatment catheter (12) with a fluid reservoir (11) and heating means (10) which is arranged within the treatment catheter (12) and emits electromagnetic radiation for heating of the surrounding bodily tissue. The fluid reservoir (11) constitutes an integrated part of the catheter for treatment and is positioned in the catheter so that, when inserted in a patient, it extends to cover the area heated by the heating means (10) between the prostatic apex and bladder neck (21'). The fluid reservoir (11) also constitues a closed chamber which is connectable via a channel (22) passing through the catheter (12) for treatment. A stop (28) for the heat-absorbing means is embodied distal to said heating means (10) and distal to said heat reservoir (11).
L'invention concerne un dispositif de traitement de la prostate, qui comprend un cathéter de traitement (12) muni d'un réservoir à liquide (11), et un moyen de chauffage (10) disposé dans le cathéter de traitement (12) pour émettre des rayonnements électromagnétiques destinés à chauffer les zones entourant le tissu organique. Le réservoir à liquide (11) est solidaire du cathéter de traitement dans lequel il est logé si bien que, une fois inséré dans un patient, il se déploie pour couvrir la zone chauffée par le moyen de chauffage (10) entre le sommet de la prostate et le col vésical (21'). Le réservoir à liquide (11) forme également une chambre fermée accessible par un canal (22) traversant le cathéter de traitement (12). Une butée (28) pour le moyen anti-calorique est ménagée à un emplacement distal par rapport au moyen de chauffage (10) et par rapport au réservoir à liquide (11).
