    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Prostate cancer treatment for high-risk patients requires advanced methods.
    • Cryosurgery is an established modality, but further development is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of cryocautery for high-risk prostate patients.
    • To highlight the advantages of this combined freezing and heating technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Cryocautery, combining prostatic freezing and heating, was performed on 136 high-risk patients.
    • No general or medullary anesthesia was used.
    • Outcomes were assessed postoperatively and at an eighteen-month follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • 88% of patients achieved good postoperative results.
    • 79% of patients maintained good results at the eighteen-month follow-up.
    • Key advantages include increased tissue necrosis, suppressed regeneration, and reduced hemorrhage.

    Conclusions:

    • Cryocautery is an effective advancement in treating high-risk prostate conditions.
    • The procedure offers benefits such as reduced hospital stay and fewer complications.
    • This technique represents a promising development in prostate cryosurgery.
