Summary

Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) accurately monitored prostate cryotherapy iceball progression in a canine model. Histologic analysis confirmed necrosis, with TRUS guiding precise treatment extension.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary medicine
  • Urology
  • Medical imaging

Background:

  • Prostate cryotherapy is re-emerging with advanced ultrasound and cryotechnology.
  • Accurate monitoring is crucial for effective and safe treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) accuracy in monitoring prostate cryotherapy iceball progression.
  • To correlate TRUS findings with histologic outcomes in a canine model.

Main Methods:

  • Six dogs underwent whole-prostate cryotherapy.
  • Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) monitored iceball progression over 1 day to 12 weeks.
  • Histologic examination provided correlation with imaging findings.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • TRUS accurately monitored posterior iceball progression, correlating with rectal wall necrosis.
  • Complete prostate necrosis occurred in 50% of dogs.
  • Urethral re-epithelialization was observed in chronic cases, with residual glands in some prostates.

    • Conclusions:

    • Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) enables precise monitoring of prostate cryotherapy.
    • Histologic findings explain TRUS appearance and potential atypical glands in human biopsies.
