Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are used for dialysis of kidney in patients with kidney failure. Hemodialysis is the most commonly used method for kidney dialysis. Ablation therapies such as transurethral needal ablation (TUNA), holmium laser ablation of the prostate (HoLAP), and ultrasound/high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) are becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia due to the high cost and infectiveness of traditional drug and surgical therapies.
