my husband is scheduled for the implant of hydrogel to separate the prostate from the bladder and rectum , pre EBRT mid April. Does anyone know how long the gel lasts and does it just absorb after time or ?
Thanks

It lasts about 6 months and is absorbed by the body

The gel will absorb. I never fealt it so no idea how long it took to disappear.
