Handbook of Urologic Cryoablation
As prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer found in men, the
clinical and surgical commitments to treating it are enormous, as well
as to be expected given the aging male population. Urologic cryotherapy
is one such method for those with organ-confined or minimally-spread
prostate cancer. The benefits it offers both patient and surgeon are
hugely significant: it is minimally invasive, has a favourable success
rate and complication rates, is followed by a short period of
recuperation, is repeatable if necessary, and costs considerably less
than a radical prostatectomy. Presenting their adroit surgical and
extensive teaching experience with urologic cryoablation in the
treatment of renal and prostate cancers, Drs. Daniel Ruskstalis and
Aaron Katz, along with a superb team of U.S. contributors, share their
mastery of this revolutionary technique with the reader, whether
qualified or in-training. An important, accessible guide to a
ground-breaking advance in the treatment of prostate cancer, Handbook of
Urologic Cryoablation is requisite reading for those urologic surgeons
wishing to perform cryoablation effectively and efficiently for the
patient's benefit.
