KIMS Hospital Pioneers Non-Surgical Prostate Cancer Treatment
KIMS Hospitals now offers a new way to treat prostate problems without surgery.
This new method uses MRI and ultrasound to get rid of the prostate tissue from inside the body.
It's a same-day procedure, so patients can go home the same day.
This method is gentler than traditional surgery and radiation, which means it's a good choice for people with other health problems.
It also helps to maintain sexual function.
KIMS Hospitals is the first in the area to offer this advanced treatment.
KIMS Hospitals introduces Tulsa-Pro, a non-surgical prostate cancer treatment.
The procedure is MRI-guided and removes prostate tissue via the urethra.
It's a less invasive alternative to surgery or radiation, preserving sexual function.
Treatment is a daycare service with same-day discharge, reducing hospital stays.
The technology is a first for India and Southeast Asia.
