Hyderabad: Surgeons at KIMS Hospitals, Hyderabad, on Tuesday announced the successful treatment of patients suffering from localised prostate cancer and prostate enlargement using the cutting-edge Tulsa-Pro system, performed as a day-care procedure.

A total of 13 patients, including three foreign nationals from Bahrain, Dubai, and Mauritius, were successfully treated using the Tulsa-Pro (Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation Prostate) system — an MRI-guided, ultrasound-based treatment that eliminates the need for cuts, stitches, or prolonged hospital stays, according to a statement.
