What challenges and adverse effects have you encountered with SpaceOAR injection?
How do you minimize these risks? If using local anesthesia only in the outpatient setting, how is pain control at the area of injection?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice
Only situation in our limited experience where we have encountered a problem is in a patient with inflammatory bowel disease that had a j pouch where the scarring limited optimal placement of the SpaceOAR and the separation between the rectum and prostate was not as desired.
