Urinary Catheter
A urinary catheter is a latex or silicone tube (35 to 40 cm) placed in the urethra. This catheter allows for urine contained in the bladder to flow out and be collected in a bag.
Curietherapy
This procedure consists of inserting radioactive sources (grains, threads or micro sources) within the prostate. These radioactive sources destroy cancer cells. Thanks to the radioactive elements (iodide, iridium) properties, it allows localized irradiation to the prostate, sparing surrounding healthy tissues.
Hormonal therapy
Hormonal therapy is made to stop the action of some hormones on certain cancerous cells in order to slow down the cancer progression. It is a general treatment that acts on the entire body.
All cancers don’t react the same way to hormonal therapy.
External radiotherapy
External radiotherapy consists in sending radoactif rays that destroy cancerous cells at the level of the prostate. These rays are produced by an external source. It is a local treatment of cancer: it acts directly on the area to be treated.
Focus Ultrasounds
A treatment by focalized high intensity ultrasounds has for main goal to locally destroy the prostate and the tumor, by heat. It is a local treatment for non metastatic prostate cancer, meaning it allows action directly on the prostate and killing the tumor.
Laparoscopy
This surgical procedure consists in creating a space in the abdominal cavity with a gas (ammonia dioxide) injected hrough a insufflator, then introducing an optical instrument linked to a camera via a trocart allowing visualization of the surgical field on a monitor.
Laparoscopy robotized
This technique has lead to significant progress in operative technique thanks to the quality of the anatomical vision that it brought with it, as well as the precision of the dissection steps and suture that it allows. The advantages of this minimally traumatic approach quickly became obvious for the patient ...
Prostatectomy
It is a surgical procedure that has for goal the removal of the whole prostate as well as the seminal vesicles. It is a direct treatment against the cancer since it acts directly on the prostate to remove the tumor.
Neuromodulation
As simple as it may seem at first sight, the accuulation and then emptying of urine is in fact a complex mechanism controlled by the nervous system. The nervous system works like a communication circuit between the different urinary elements and the brain.
Penile Implants
Penile implants allowed 300 000 men to recover an active and satisfactory sexual life. But like any surgical intervention is has advantages and risks.
