First-of-its-Kind Surgery Done for Prostatitis, Solves Man's Unrelenting Pain

Dr. Arnon Krongrad, President of Miami-based Krongrad Institute, recently performed a revolutionary surgery on one man's severe pelvic pain, otherwise known as Prostatitis. In what is considered the first of its kind, the operation was a bold and immediate call to action, but resolved to cure the man of his unrelenting pain.

In many cases, Prostatitis is the source of only acute agitation that, under careful treatment with antibiotics, can be cured. However, in some cases, Prostatitis is a chronic ailment and can cause years of debilitating symptoms. What few options men with this condition are offered, surgery is never one of them.

Said Dr. Krongrad, "A man was sent to me by another prostate surgeon so I would do a surgery to treat his prostatitis, which was causing him severe pain. The man was at the end of his rope, in agony, bleeding, burning, and unable to sit on hard surface. The problem was that surgery had not been described in this setting. It was impossible to know if it would work. There was even the possibility that it would make him worse."

There are no specific criteria by which candidates for the procedure are selected, and the surgery's success offers only the most effective solution for Prostatitis to date.

"One year after laparoscopic prostate surgery, the man is pain free, able to sit for hours as he plays his drums. He reports return of continence and erections," said Dr. Krongrad.
