ABSTRACT = {Hydrogel spacer placement between the prostate and 
rectum in men scheduled to undergo prostate radiotherapy 
is an emerging technique well suited for urologists. The 
hydrogel spacer reduces rectal injury during radiotherapy by displacing the rectum away from the high dose 
region. Following radiotherapy the hydrogel spacer then 
liquifies, is absorbed, and then clears via renal filtration 
in approximately 6 months. Herein we describe the 
appropriate patients eligible for this procedure, and the 
application technique we use in our clinic.},
