Is TULSA-PRO FDA approved?
Treatment
Yes. TULSA-PROTM is FDA-approved and recognized by the American Urological Association. It has been validated through rigorous clinical trials and is trusted by leading medical institutions worldwide.
How long is recovery?
Recovery
Most patients return to normal activity within days and feel fully recovered within two weeks. The minimally invasive nature of TULSA-PROTM means significantly shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgical approaches.
Will I need a catheter?
Procedure
Yes, temporarily. Most patients describe it as manageable and short-term. The catheter is typically removed within a few days to weeks, and patients can resume normal activities shortly after.
Is the procedure covered by insurance?
Insurance
Pre- and post-procedure care is often covered. The procedure itself is self-pay. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage and benefits.
Is it worth the cost?
Cost
Patients consistently tell us the outcome—health, confidence, peace of mind—was priceless, and the investment in their health and quality of life was invaluable.
Who is a good candidate for TULSA-PRO?
Candidacy
Candidates are typically men with localized prostate cancer who want to preserve sexual function and bladder control. Dr. Hong performs a detailed MRI review to confirm candidacy for each patient.
What are the success rates?
Outcomes
TULSA-PROTM demonstrates excellent outcomes: 92% pad-free continence, 87% potency preserved, and 79%+ cancer control at 5 years. These rates are significantly better than traditional treatments in many cases, and may even be higher for your situation.
How is TULSA-PRO different from other treatments?
Procedure
TULSA-PROTM is the only MRI-guided, whole-gland-enabled ablation therapy. Other minimally-invasive treatments are focal only or do not utilize MRI-precision. TULSA-PROTM combines precision with minimal invasiveness, offering superior outcomes for sexual function and continence compared to surgery or radiation.
