Barrigel for Prostate Cancer at Southland Urology
Barrigel is a dissolvable spacer that is injected between the prostate and the rectum during certain prostate cancer treatments, such as radiation therapy. The gel creates a temporary space that protects the rectum from the high doses of radiation aimed at the prostate. By separating the two organs, Barrigel helps to reduce common side effects of radiation, such as rectal pain, bleeding, and incontinence, allowing for a more focused and effective treatment.
Advanced Treatments
Our expert surgeons were the first to adopt Barrigel in Orange County and have been performing rectal spacing for nearly a decade.
