Abstract
994 Third-generation Cryosurgery for Prostate Cancer Patient with a Penile Prosthesis Myung Ki Kim, Jun Cheon, Hyung Jin Kim From the Department of Urology, Chonbuk National University Medical School, Jeonju, Chonnam National University Medical School, Gwangju, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea Treatment options for clinically localized prostate cancer include surgical extirpation, radiation therapy (external beam radiation therapy and/or brachytherapy), or watchful waiting. Cryosurgery has recently re-emerged as a developing technology and as a minimally invasive treatment option. There may be technical difficulties in placing cryoprobes in patient with a penile prosthesis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of cryosurgical ablation of the prostate in a prostate cancer patient with a penile prosthesis. (Korean J Urol 2007;48:994-996)
