SUMMARY
Mr. Tim Dudderidge (Consultant Urologist, The Focal Therapy Clinic): Most patients go home within a few hours after focal therapy, once theyve eaten, had fluids, and been shown how to use the catheter. Those traveling far may choose to stay in a nearby hotel overnight for added convenience and comfort.
