METHOD OF FRACTIONATED PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY OF BENIGN PROSTATE HYPERPLASIA Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61N5/67 A61K31/409 A61P35/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia is ensured by oral introduction of a biologically active food additive "Photostim" as a photosensitiser within the first 10 therapeutic days in a dose 2.5 ml. Further, "Photostim" is dosed 5 ml once a day. The whole therapeutic course implies introduction of 100 ml. Starting from the 7-8 therapeutic day, suprapubic region and perineum are exposed to laser radiation of wave length 665-670 nm, power density 100 J/cm² in continuous radiation condition, by noninvasive transcutaneous action of two fields, 20 minutes on each area as specified. Therapeutic course includes15 daily sessions. A monochromatic light source is a photodynamic therapy complex that comprises high-light semiconductor light-emitting diodes "ELAN" of array radiation wavelength 665-670 nm, in continuous radiation conditions, power density of working array radiation in focal plane 30-60 mWt/cm² and irradiation spot area in focal plane 40 cm².

EFFECT: reduction of recovery period, ensured absence of intraoperative injuries, prevention of postoperative complications and cicatricial changes.
