Abstract

Implantation of rectal spacer, while increases the distance between the prostate and rectum, may theoretically result in changes in seed configuration within the prostate as the gland is deformed and pushed anteriorly and splayed laterally, possibly resulting in smaller distance between urethra and seeds. We evaluated intra-prostatic seed shifts after implantation of a hydrogel spacer between the prostate and rectum and assessed its impact on urethral dose.
