High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)<\/strong><\/p>

What is High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)?<\/strong><\/p>

HIFU is a treatment option for certain prostate cancer patients. This advanced technology uses high-intensity ultrasound waves to target the affected area of the prostate. The focused ultrasound energy generates localized heat that destroys cancer cells, while preserving healthy surrounding tissue.<\/p>

Advantages of HIFU<\/strong><\/p>

HIFU offers several benefits as a focal therapy for prostate cancer treatment, including:<\/p>

  • Non-invasive and non-surgical<\/strong>: HIFU requires no blades, cuts, or radiation, making it a non-invasive procedure with no incisions or scarring.<\/li>
  • Minimal side effects<\/strong>: Patients typically experience a low risk of common side effects such as erectile dysfunction and incontinence.<\/li>
  • Preserved quality of life<\/strong>: Since HIFU targets only the cancerous tissue, patients can maintain a good quality of life and return to their daily activities shortly after the procedure.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Outpatient procedure<\/strong>: HIFU is an outpatient treatment, meaning patients can return home on the same day.<\/p>

    How Does a HIFU Procedure Work?<\/strong><\/p>

    During the Procedure<\/strong><\/p>

    The patient is placed under general anesthesia for comfort. Using the Focal One robotic system<\/strong>, the urologist performs the HIFU procedure with precision, ablating only the cancerous tissue while sparing healthy tissue.<\/p>

    After the Procedure<\/strong><\/p>

    Following the procedure, most patients are discharged the same day. To minimize the risk of urinary retention caused by swelling, a temporary catheter will be placed. This catheter is typically removed during the first follow-up appointment, which occurs 5 to 7 days later.<\/p>

    Ongoing follow-up includes PSA testing<\/strong> at three months, six months, and one year after the procedure to monitor progress and ensure the treatment’s effectiveness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
