About Cryoablation Of Prostate

Cryoablation of the prostate, also known as cryosurgery or cryotherapy, is a minimally invasive procedure performed by a urologist to treat prostate cancer. It involves using extremely cold gases, guided by real-time ultrasound imaging, to freeze and destroy cancerous prostate tissue. The procedure is often an option for patients with localized prostate cancer, those who have not responded to radiation therapy (salvage therapy), or who are not suitable candidates for major surgery. It is valued for its precision in targeting tumors while aiming to preserve surrounding healthy tissue and nerves, potentially reducing side effects like incontinence and erectile dysfunction compared to traditional surgery. Recovery is typically faster, with many patients returning home the same day.

Key Highlights

    Minimally invasive procedure with no large surgical incisions.Often performed as an outpatient or with a very short hospital stay.Targeted treatment aims to preserve surrounding healthy tissue and nerves.Can be an effective salvage therapy for cancer recurring after radiation.Generally associated with less pain and a faster recovery than radical prostatectomy.Lower risk of significant blood loss compared to traditional surgery./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Localized prostate cancer (confined to the prostate gland).
  • Patients who are not ideal candidates for radical prostatectomy due to age or other health conditions.
  • Recurrent prostate cancer following radiation therapy (salvage cryoablation).
  • As a primary treatment for select patients seeking a less invasive option.
  • Patients who wish to avoid the potential side effects of radiation therapy.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including imaging (MRI) and prostate biopsy.
  • Discuss all medications with your urologist; you may need to stop blood thinners temporarily.
  • Undergo pre-operative tests such as blood work and possibly an ECG.
  • Follow specific fasting instructions (typically no food or drink for 6-8 hours before the procedure).
  • You may be given an enema to empty the rectum for better ultrasound imaging.
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure.

Risks & possible complications

  • Erectile dysfunction, which can be temporary or permanent.
  • Urinary incontinence (leakage), though often temporary.
  • Irritation of the rectum or urethra, leading to pain, burning, or frequent urination.
  • Risk of urinary tract infection (UTI).
  • Formation of a fistula (an abnormal connection) between the urethra and rectum (rare).
  • Incomplete destruction of cancer cells, requiring further treatment.
  • Injury to surrounding tissues.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Most patients go home the same day or after an overnight observation.
  • A urinary catheter is typically placed for a few days to a week to allow the urethra to heal.
  • Expect pelvic discomfort, swelling, and frequent/urgent urination for the first few weeks.
  • You should avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and driving for 1-2 weeks.
  • Drink plenty of fluids to help flush the bladder and reduce irritation.
  • Follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor healing and check PSA levels to assess treatment effectiveness.
  • Full recovery and return to all normal activities may take 3-6 weeks.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 3-6 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

Neha Jones, a 58-year-old high school...

Neha Jones, a 58-year-old high school principal, was diagnosed with low-risk, localized prostate cancer during a routine physical. A biopsy confirmed a small, slow-growing tumor. As an active person who loved hiking and yoga, Neha was deeply concerned about the potential side effects of traditional surgery, particularly incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Her urologist, Dr. Chen, recommended cryoablation as a minimally invasive option that could effectively target the cancer while offering a better chance of preserving her quality of life. The procedure itself was done under general anesthesia and took about two hours. Neha experienced some initial discomfort, urinary urgency, and fatigue for the first week. However, within three weeks, she was back to walking her dog and managing light work emails. At her three-month follow-up, her PSA levels had dropped significantly, and a follow-up MRI showed no residual cancer. Emotionally, Neha went from feeling terrified and 'marked' by her diagnosis to empowered. Choosing a treatment that aligned with her active lifestyle gave her a sense of control. While she still has check-ups, she feels optimistic and grateful for the technology that allowed her to treat the cancer without major life disruption.
