Abstract

A method for treating a prostate with radiation includes: introducing a fluid into a potential space defined between two layers of fascia to contact the two layers; forming a bioresorbable spacer from the fluid to provide an increased spacing of the prostate and a rectum from one another beyond natural spacing thereof; applying radiation therapy to the prostate after introducing the fluid into the potential space; maintaining a minimum spacing between the prostate and the rectum with the bioresorbable spacer for a desired time period of at least forty-eight hours, wherein the minimum spacing is greater than the natural spacing.
