Miami, a Hotbed for Medical Innovations

Miami is home to numerous innovations in medical technology and surgery, particularly where there are quality-of-life issues

A recently-approved non-invasive prostate cancer treatment using high-intensity focused ultrasound carries far fewer risks of impotence or cancer spread than surgical or radiologic treatment. In another advance, a 6-step protocol was instituted to reduce a high gallbladder surgery complication rate. While further trials are necessary, initial results revealed no complications among the 173 trial patients. In a third domain, an alternative to spinal fusion surgery replaces worn discs with a new metal-and-plastic implant which is easier to adapt to the patient and preserves natural spinal movement.
