Vicryl carrier for I-125 seeds: percutaneous transperineal insertion
Journal Article
·
· Radiology; (United States)
The use of vicryl carriers for permanent iodine-125 implantation in the prostate with the percutaneous transperineal template technique improves the symmetry of the implant and prevents seed loss into the pelvis. The procedure is accomplished quickly with the administration of spinal or general anesthesia. Implantation into the prostate is accomplished without celiotomy and does not require the use of an iodine seed gun.
