HIFU Patient Doug Hill - Discusses his Discomfort Level after the HIFU Prostate Cancer Treatment

Patient Doug Hill discusses his HIFU treatment experience. The HIFU prostate cancer treatment option has fewer significant side effects and complications than other forms of prostate cancer treatment. It is non-surgical and performed on an outpatient basis. Recovery time is also much quicker with HIFU - High Intensity Focused Ultrasound.

The procedure is performed under localized or general anesthetic. The procedure generally takes 2-3 hours to perform. Patients come to the Maple Leaf HIFU clinic in downtown Toronto from all over North America. The Maple Leaf HIFU clinic was the first North American HIFU clinic and has performed more procedures than any other HIFU clinic in North America.
