Patients seeking an innovative approach: thermal ablation
Focal One® is the ideal treatment tool to ablate just the diseased part of the prostate for the optimal preservation of quality of life. This latest HIFU medical device marketed is dedicated to focal therapy. The real-time imaging allows for precise local ablation in one session under general anesthesia, repeatable if necessary, with few side effects.
Patients who have already received HIFU treatment
All patients treated with robotic HIFU prostate tissue ablation can receive repeat HIFU treatments if the outcome of the original treatment justifies it. This option to repeat treatment is not available with conventional radiotherapy and surgical treatments.
Patients who have already received radiotherapy
HIFU ablation can be performed when a patient has already received radiotherapy treatment.
HIFU procedure contraindications:
- Anal or rectal surgery that prevents insertion of the probe
- Artificial sphincter, penile implants and intra-prostatic implants
- Allergy to latex
