Israeli doctors are testing a new focused ultrasound therapy for enlarged prostate that could eliminate the need for surgery, according to reports. The 20-to-30-minute procedure uses ultrasound waves from outside the body to destroy obstructive prostate tissue, requiring no incision, urethral instruments, or hospitalization. If successful, the treatment could transform care for millions of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. In a related development, The Zioneer previously reported on Israeli doctors at Rambam Medical Center using MRI-guided focused ultrasound to treat severe opioid addiction, demonstrating the country's growing expertise in non-invasive ultrasound therapies.
