The Rosa Knee System, a robotic surgical assistant, uses a series of X-rays to create a 3D model of the patient’s knee. This data assists in the planning and placement of knee replacements, providing the surgeon with unique knee-related insights that may affect the surgery.
Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy in which a radioactive source is placed directly into or next to an organ or tissue affected by cancer. You will be undergoing low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy. ‘Dose rate’ refers to the speed at which the dose is delivered, not the actual dose itself. LDR brachytherapy or ‘seed’ implant involves the insertion of radioactive sources directly into the prostate. These sources or ‘seeds’ give off localised radiation to the entire prostate with the aim of destroying the cancer cells. These are permanent implants, but the seeds completely lose their activity within 20 months. The radiation is limited to the prostate and only a few millimetres around it. Placement of ‘seeds’ requires a procedure under anaesthetic that typically takes an hour or two. You may be able to have the treatment as a ‘day patient’ or be booked for an overnight stay in the hospital.
