Percutaneous transperineal cryoablation of the prostate is now available in the armamentarium for treatment of prostate cancer. Technical advances in real-time transrectal imaging of the prostate and improvements in cryosurgical equipment have brought this modality into the limelight of available prostate cancer management. Cryosurgery can be offered to many patients with prostate cancer. However, the main indications for its use include primary treatment for localized disease, salvage therapy after failure of traditional methods, and relief of local symptoms. A historical background, description of the technique, and clinical experience at several medical centers including the University of California San Diego, Allegheny General Hospital, University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and Crittenton Hospital, are presented.
