Abstract Purpose To share our experience using transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) treatment for focal therapy of localized prostate cancer (PCa). Materials and methods Between 10/2019 and 06/2021 TULSA treatment for localized PCa was performed in 22 men (mean age: 67 ± 7 years, mean initial PSA: 6.8 ± 2.1 ng/ml, ISUP 1 in n = 6, ISUP 2 in n = 14 and 2 patients with recurrence after previous radiotherapy). Patients were selected by an interdisciplinary team, taking clinical parameters, histopathology from targeted or systematic biopsies, mpMRI and patients preferences into consideration. Patients were thoroughly informed about alternative treatment options and that TULSA is an individual treatment approach. High-intensity ultrasound was applied using an ablation device placed in the prostatic urethra. Heat-development within the prostatic tissue was monitored using MR-thermometry. Challenges during the ablation procedure and follow-up of oncologic and functional outcome of at least 12 months after TULSA treatment were documented. Results No major adverse events were documented. In the 12 month follow-up period, no significant changes of urinary continence, irritative/obstructive voiding symptoms, bowel irritation or hormonal symptoms were reported according to the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) score. Erectile function was significantly impaired 3–6 months (p |
