No, the TULSA Procedure does not use a laser. A device is inserted into the urethra that delivers heat created by ultrasound energy to ablate tissue.
The TULSA Procedure uses the TULSA-PRO® system to transurethrally ablate prostate tissue by combining real-time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”) with robotically-driven directional thermal ultrasound to deliver predictable physician-prescribed ablation of whole-gland or partial prostate tissue.

The PSA test alone is not an indicator that prostate cancer is present. Rather, it is a preliminary test to help your doctor determine whether further testing is required. Click here to learn more about the PSA test and PSA levels.
TULSA Procedure is an outpatient procedure.
Following a TULSA Procedure, the patient is usually discharged from the clinic the same day, depending on the doctor’s assessment.
The TULSA Procedure is performed in a single session, and the time of the procedure depends on the treatment plan that’s prescribed by your physician. It is conducted under anesthesia. After the procedure, the patient goes home the same day.
The TULSA-PRO system has been studied in clinical trials. The positive results of the pivotal trial met all of its primary and secondary efficacy and safety endpoints. The clinical trial demonstrated that the TULSA-PRO provides safe and effective prostate tissue ablation, with minimal adverse events, significant prostate volume and PSA reduction, and low rates of residual prostate disease. The favorable safety profile offered by the TULSA-PRO® contrasts with radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy that can leave many men with permanent erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence and bowel dysfunction. For more information on the success rate, speak to your TULSA Procedure doctor.
