Prostate Cryoablation Technique. Four Steps. Ultrasound Capture Probe Planning Probe Placement Freeze / Thaw Cycles. Step #1 Ultrasound Capture. Place Foley Catheter, fill bladder with saline
E N D
Four Steps • Ultrasound Capture • Probe Planning • Probe Placement • Freeze / Thaw Cycles
Step #1 Ultrasound Capture • Place Foley Catheter, fill bladder with saline • Align ultrasound probe, center image, assure that plane of urethra and plane of transducer is parallel • Urethra should stay on centerline as you move ultrasound cradle from base to apex • Measure volume (height, width, length)

Step #2Cryoprobe & Temprobe Planning • Outline the prostate margin (stay outside the capsule for high risk disease where capsular disease is suspected) • Outline urethra (allow a large margin for salvage cases) • Outline rectal wall
Cryoprobe & Temprobe Planning Software • Outline • Margin • Urethra • Rectal
