Awake and comfortable: new study tests prostate cancer ablation without general anesthesia

This study will test whether a focal microwave ablation procedure for localized prostate cancer can be performed under local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia or deep sedation. Twenty eligible patients will undergo the treatment while awake, and researchers will measure how often the procedure is completed without needing to switch to stronger anesthesia. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible, safe, and satisfactory for patients.
