NanoKnife

NanoKnife Prostate Cancer Treatment at Maple Urology

NanoKnife is an innovative, minimally invasive treatment option for prostate cancer, offering a precise and effective alternative to traditional surgery or radiation. This cutting-edge procedure uses Irreversible Electroporation (IRE)—a technique that delivers controlled electrical pulses to destroy cancerous cells while preserving surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and healthy tissues. At Maple Urology, Dr. Garbens specializes in NanoKnife therapy as a targeted approach for patients with localized prostate cancer, ensuring fewer side effects and a quicker recovery. Unlike conventional treatments, NanoKnife does not involve incisions, radiation, or heat, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a non-thermal, tissue-preserving solution. How It Works

NanoKnife works by delivering high-voltage electrical pulses through fine needle probes placed around the tumor. These pulses create microscopic pores in cancerous cells, triggering cell death while leaving surrounding structures intact. This approach significantly reduces the risks of urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and other complications commonly associated with traditional treatments.
