Some 206 of the original 280 patients were available for analysis. Both procedures resulted in durable improvements in disease-specific quality of life (P<0.001). Clinical recurrence was lower after endothermal ablation: 37 versus 59 per cent, P=0.005.

Comment: Endothermal ablation has real long term advantages.
