Abstract
A method of treating prostatic tissue includes trans-perineally introducing at least one energy delivery device in the prostate of a patient. Once the energy delivery device has been introduced, energy is delivered to a volume of tissue of the prostate until the volume is vaporized or sublimated and a cavity is formed in the prostate tissue. The energy delivery device can then be removed from the prostate.
