HIFU
Procedure (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Therapy)

The ultrasound is focused (focal point), the sudden and intense absorption of the ultrasound beam quickly raises the temperature up to 70-100° for less than a second. The area destroyed by each beam is very small and precise.
HIFU – technique allows physicians to treat and monitor treatment at the same time. They aim the prostate tumor and destroy it with a beam of High-Intensity Ultra sound energy without damaging the surrounding tissue. HIFU energy targets tissue in the prostate in the same way that sunlight focuses by a magnifying glass. When a magnifying glass is held above a leaf, the sun’s rays intersect beyond the lens and cause the leaf to burn at the point of intersection.
The recovery time after a HIFU treatment is considerably shorter than in other types of treatment as radical prostatectomy. Most often patient are back to their normal daily activities immediately after the procedure that lasts 2-3 hours.
For the first time HIFU allows only the affected area to be treated without damaging the surrounding tissue, nerves, vessels and organs. In cases of a more complex condition of the patient the bloodless and minimum invasive therapy can be combined successfully with the GreenLight technology.
Advantages
of HIFU Treatment :-

blood loss
•
Quick recovery
•
