The procedure is aimed at men for whom monitoring of the disease and changes in lifestyle are insufficient to maintain quality of life.
Patients who cannot or do not want to take medication (particularly for the side effects caused) are another group of patients for whom the procedure can be used. Many patients begin medical therapy but this has undesirable side effects or ceases to have any effect after some time. In these cases, this procedure is an excellent solution.
Finally, patients with more marked symptoms who need surgery but prefer a less invasive solution are also strong candidates for treatment with this procedure.
