We aimed to investigate these patients' posttreatment parameters concerning the catheter\u2010free rates, quality of life (QoL) changes, and retrospective treatment efficacy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>RF thermotherapy was applied to 62 permanent patients catheterized within the last 3\u2009months due to urinary retention. The follow\u2010up data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. The patients who were free of catheters and those who required permanent catheterization were determined. The changes in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), QoL, postvoiding residue (PVR), and maximal flow rate (Q<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>) values were analyzed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 52 patients were evaluated in terms of treatment success in relation to the elimination of the need for a urinary catheter, which was calculated as 73.07%. The Q<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub>, IPSS, QoL, and PVR values of 38 patients who no longer required a catheter were monitored for 24\u2009months, and statistically significant changes were observed in all parameters.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Bipolar RF thermotherapy was found to be beneficial for men dependent on catheters due to BPH.
