What Is the TULSA Procedure? 

The TULSA Procedure (Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation) is a minimally invasive treatment for men with prostate disease (prostate cancer and/or an enlarged prostate). 

Performed inside an MRI suite, TULSA Procedure uses precise directional ultrasound energy to gently heat and completely treat problematic prostate tissue — while protecting the healthy tissue around it. 

This AI-powered, robotically-delivered procedure is designed to precisely target and treat prostate tissue affected by prostate disease, while minimizing downtime and helping preserve what matters most — your quality of life.

How Does the TULSA Procedure Work? 

The TULSA Procedure is designed to be precise, gentle, and minimally invasive. Here’s what you can expect: 

  1. You’ll be comfortably asleep under anesthesia during the procedure. 
  2. A small device is placed through your urethra — no incisions or cutting needed. 
  3. Real-time MRI imaging helps guide the doctor to target only the problematic prostate tissue. 
  4. Directional ultrasound energy gently heats and completely treats the problem areas while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. 
  5. You return home the same day — with minimal pain, minimal downtime and a focus on preserving your quality of life.

What Results Can I Expect After the TULSA Procedure? 

Clinical studies have shown that the TULSA Procedure provides effective treatment of prostate tissue with low risk of side effects in men with both prostate cancer and BPH1¹. Most men report improved quality of life while preserving important functions like urinary control and sexual function. 

TULSA is designed to treat your prostate — while helping you maintain what matters most.

Why Do Patients Choose the TULSA Procedure? 

The TULSA Procedure offers a unique, personalized approach to treating prostate disease — without traditional surgery. Here’s why more men are choosing TULSA: 

  • A custom treatment plan designed for your individual prostate size, shape, and disease 
  • Low risk of side effects like urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction • Safe for patients on blood thinners 
  • Same-day outpatient procedure — no hospital stay required 
  • Fast recovery so you can get back to your normal routine quickly 
  • Medicare-covered treatment for eligible patients 

TULSA gives you the relief you need — without sacrificing your quality of life.

Risk and Safety Information

All surgical treatments carry risks, and individual outcomes may vary based on patient and disease characteristics. The most common side effects of the TULSA Procedure are mild and temporary, such as urinary symptoms, blood in the urine, minor infections, or discomfort in the pelvic, genital, abdominal or anorectal area.

More serious risks, though rare, can include anesthesia risk, sexual dysfunction, urine leakage, urethral discharge, urinary tract infection, deep vein thrombosis, rectal injury, and tightening of the bladder outlet and/or urethra, which may require additional intervention. Patients may also experience worsening urinary symptoms, such as increased frequency, urgency, or the need to urinate at night. 

No claim is made that TULSA Procedure will cure any medical condition or eliminate the diseased entity. Repeated treatment or alternative therapies may sometimes be required. Not all patients will experience the same results.
