Abstract

We present the computed tomographic (CT) findings of complications of prostate cryosurgery in three patients. One patient had injury to the bladder base and rectum, which resulted in ureteral obstruction and vesicorectal fistula. The other two patients had urethral injuries. All three patients had CT evidence of prostate necrosis. If utilization of prostate cryosurgery increases, complications will be encountered more frequently on imaging studies.
