Ablation of bull prostate using novel bipolar radiofrequency ablation probe.

Purpose: We describe the use of a novel bipolar radiofrequency (RF) system for the destruction of prostate tissue in an ex vivo model.

Materials And Methods: A bipolar RF delivery system (Trod Medical, France) was linked to a 500 kHz generator. Eight lesions were created in an ex vivo bull prostate model using 7-mm (n = 4) and 10-mm probes (n = 4).
