Brief Summary

The TUNA is a known and already old technique. There exists, in the literature, a certain number of studies showing the long-term effectiveness (5 years), evaluated on the IPS and the flow mictional.This effectiveness is slightly lower than that of the endoscopic resection of prostate. This technique does not present the disadvantages of the surgery prostate sufferer on ejaculation. Moreover, it can be carried out in short hospitalization or ambulatory as it is the case in particular in the States Unis. The aim of the study which will be led by the AP-HP will be thus to test the feasibility of the TUNA during a hospitalization of less 24 hours.
