[Cryosurgery in the management of prostate cancer].
This article reviews the current status of the prostatic cryosurgery in the management of patients with prostate cancer. Recent advances in cryoablative technology have allowed to treat these patients successfully with decreased morbidity. Using transrectal high-resolution ultrasound imaging, prostate cryotherapy is delivered with multiple ultrathin (17-gauge) cryo-needles, via percutaneous tra...
متن کاملLaser-assisted cryosurgery of prostate: numerical study.
A new methodology for preventing freezing damage beyond pre-specified boundaries during prostate cryosurgery is proposed herein. It consists of emitting controlled laser irradiation from the urethra, across the wall and into the prostate while conventional cryoprobes freeze the unwanted prostate tissue. The purpose of this methodology is to protect the urethral wall better and confine the desir...
متن کاملCryosurgery for Prostate Cancer—Experience with Third-Generation Cryosurgery and Novel Developments in the Field
Objectives: To analyse and present the data of our cryosurgery experience for the treatment of prostate cancer. Methods: Between August 2003 and November 2006, a total of 91 patients were treated with cryosurgery for prostate cancer as either primary treatment (n = 49) or salvage treatment (n = 42). The mean follow-up was 19.16 mo (range: 6 wk to 6 mo). Data were collected prospectively. Result...
متن کاملImage-guided prostate cryosurgery: state of the art.
BACKGROUND Cryosurgery was first used to treat prostate cancer in the early 1970s but it was not until 1993, when the results from percutaneous ultrasound-guided cryosurgery were published, that the potential advantages of this treatment became apparent. Changes in equipment and techniques have improved the results of cryosurgery, in both tumor control and lower morbidity. METHODS The author ...
متن کاملComputerized planning of prostate cryosurgery using variable cryoprobe insertion depth.
The current study presents a computerized planning scheme for prostate cryosurgery using a variable insertion depth strategy. This study is a part of an ongoing effort to develop computerized tools for cryosurgery. Based on typical clinical practices, previous automated planning schemes have required that all cryoprobes be aligned at a single insertion depth. The current study investigates the ...
