The TULSA Procedure

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, affecting about 1 in 8 men each year. Traditional treatments, like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation can be effective but often come with life-changing side effects, including urinary problems and erectile dysfunction.

Today, there is a new, minimally invasive option called The TULSA Procedure. This outpatient treatment provides a safe, incision-free way to treat prostate cancer and enlarged prostate conditions (such as Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, or BPH) with minimal discomfort and a fast recovery.

What is the TULSA Prostate Procedure?

The TULSA Procedure (TULSA-PRO) combines real-time MRI imaging, directional thermal ultrasound, and temperature feedback control to safely remove targeted prostate tissue. The system can treat the whole prostate or just part of it, depending on the individual patient’s needs.

Patients do not need hospital admission. The procedure is performed in a dedicated outpatient suite, with a team that includes a trained urologist, anesthesiologist, and board-certified radiologists. Having all services in one location provides convenience, safety, and expert care in a controlled clinical setting.

Benefits of the TULSA Procedure

  • Incision-free and radiation-free
  • Minimal to no pain and a fast recovery
  • Real-time MRI guidance for precise treatment
  • Outpatient procedure, no hospital stay required
  • Lower risk of post-operative complications
  • Reduced costs compared to traditional surgery
  • Decreased risk of side effects like urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction

The TULSA Procedure is a safe, effective, and modern approach to prostate care, offering men a treatment option that combines precision, comfort, and convenience.
