What are the advantages of prostate cryotherapy?

  • Lower rates of incontinence (little risk of urinary leakage, or need for pads) compared to surgery and radiation
  • Minimally invasive (no incisions)
  • Improved urinary function (ability to urinate after procedure) compared to surgery and radiation.
  • No radiation (the human body cannot receive unlimited radiation exposure without building up serious toxicities).
  • Outpatient procedure (most patients leave the hospital the same day)
  • Quick recovery (most patients are back to normal activity within a few days)
  • Prostate cryotherapy can be repeated, if necessary
  • It is covered by Medicare and most insurance companies
