What has been your institutional or personal experience with the Venezia or other hybrid interstitial brachytherapy applicators?
What have your liked or disliked about these newer applicators?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice
I have used both Vienna and Venezia applicator. Venezia is easier to use because of the split ring (easier to insert) and has more flexibility to treat lateral parametria disease or distal vaginal extension which cant be done with Vienna.
One needs to be cautious about post procedure bleeding...
