The treatment takes exactly 30 minutes. The Prostatron procedure is done in Dr. Pugach's office or in the outpatient department of a local hospital. Although no anesthesia is used, you will most likely receive some sedation so you will need someone to drive you home after the procedure. Dr. Pugach will let you go home as soon as the sedative wears off. No overnight stay is necessary.
Prostates continue to grow, just as they do after surgery.
Based on the scientific studies that have been completed, the results of the Prostatron procedure last as long as in patients who have traditional surgery. However, other complications, such as scar tissue, occur much less often with the Prostatron than with surgery. The Prostatron is far less expensive than surgery. I have an HMO type insurance. As with all HMO insurance plans, you must have your visit to Dr. Pugach approved before you can be seen by him.
