TL;DR
There has been remarkably little adverse sequelae following I-125 or Pd-103 implantation in patients with a prior history of TURP, and all patients had maintained potency at 3 years after treatment.
Abstract
In our experience, there has been remarkably little adverse sequelae following I-125 or Pd-103 implantation in patients with a prior history of TURP.

The 5-year biochemical freedom-from-progression rates following transperineal 125I implantation are comparable with those achieved with prostatectomy and morbidity has decreased with increased physician experience.

The effect of recent legislated congressional reductions in the allowable Medicare fees for transurethral prostatectomy is discussed along with the impact of these reductions on urological patient care and the American urologist.

Postimplant, CT-based dosimetry can predict which patients are at higher risk of radiation-related morbidity, and an effort should be made to keep the central urethral dose below 400 Gy, and the rectal surface dose below 100 Gy, to decrease the risk of long-term morbidity.

There is a high rate of clinical and chemical freedom from progression following 125I implantation for select patients with early stage prostatic carcinoma.

Transperineal implantation in the experience is associated with an acceptable acute and chronic complication rate and in patients with early carcinoma of the prostate, most complications were mild to moderate with a notable absence of severe problems.

Given the prevalence of bladder dysfunction as a cause of postprostatectomy incontinence, urodynamic studies are essential in the evaluation of such patients, and appropriate management strategies based on the findings of a pertinent history and physical examination, appropriate radiologic studies, and urodynamics optimize the opportunity for successful treatment.

External irradiation is a viable alternative to radical prostatectomy in the treatment of Stage B and the modality of choice in patients with Stage C adenocarcinoma of prostate and it is important to identify prognostic factors that may optimize the effectiveness of irradiation in the management of this tumor.

Treatment morbidity associated with definitive radiotherapy is analyzed in a group of 267 patients treated between 1967 and 1978, finding that symptoms secondary to bladder and rectal injuries were reversible in over 50% of patients within the first year after the onset.

It is concluded that the initial TURP was its mechanical description of mucosa and resultant scarring is a predisposing risk for development of urethral strictures or bladder neck contractures.

A novel way to assure proper needle positioning within the prostate during transperineal implantation, using the urethra as the primary radiographic landmark is described, which could be used to supplement or replace ultrasound imaging.
