Terapia Focal del Cáncer de Próstata.HIFU Focal One en el ERUS 2015
The machine was installed inside an OR of the very modern Clinica IMQ Zorrotzaurre and the live images from the 3 3D cameras were broadcasted in the auditorium filled with roughly 300 urologists. 2 other live surgery with da Vinci (Partial Nephrectomy and Neo-bladder) were supposed to be at the same time but started late because of technical issues in their respective rooms.
Dr Rochat (robotic surgeon, board member of the ERUS) explained the case and the principle of the focal treatment with Focal One. Dr Regusci performed the treatment and gave strong arguments in favor of Focal One. Dr Martins, radiologist from Geneva, was also in the OR to explain the interest of MRI and managed to show post-treatment MRI images showing a clean black hole in the focal treatment area.
The case was well selected with a clearly visible lesion on the MRI. The treatment went very well with a nice fusion and a very clear contrast imaging showing a clear devascularized area.
