HIFU SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE SURGEON'S EXPERIENCE

About things I like
• Sat Jan 23 HIFU success depends by surgeon's experience
Researchers considered there have been many men who have had excellent outcomes after High Intensity Focused Ultrasound treatment , and they do not intend to leave the public with the idea that HIFU is a dangerous form of treatment. However, it is also very clear that it takes time and experience to learn to carry out HIFU well, and that, until that experience has been accumulated, clinicians may well not be able to achieve, with reliability, the quality of outcome that the patient is expecting. Even the clinicians using HIFU treatment in clinical trials in the USA today may have had limited training and limited experience with this technique, and potential patients are strongly advised to insist on a very detailed discussion of the individual physician’s experience before they commit to HIFU at this time.
