Abstract: Background: Storage symptoms are pathology with increasing frequency and importance among elderly men. The efficacy and advantages of the new bipolar radiofrequency prostate thermotherapy method were investigated for storage symptoms in elderly.Methods: The outcomes for 150 elderly patients with significant storage symptoms accompanying voiding symptoms were in-vestigated. The patients' Qmax (maximum urinary flow rate), prostate volumes, OAB-V8 (overactivebladder-Validated 8) and quality of life scores were questioned before the procedure and 1st month and 6th month.Results: OAB-V8 total score had mean value of 26.3, with values identified as 16.2 (p < 0.001) at the end of the 1st month and 13.9 (p = 0.001) at the end of the 6th month. There were significant reductions in daytime frequent urination, uncomfortable urgency and sudden feeling of urgency complaints (p < 0.001). Thirty-five patients had significant fall in urgency with incontinence (p = 0.016).Conclusions: The bipolar radiofrequency thermotherapy method provides significant improvement of storage symptoms in el-derly men. It is thought that this method has advantages in terms of its effects on storage and voiding symptoms in the elderly.
