Implementation of permanent prostate implant (PPI) brachytherapy in Hungary and presentation of initial experience. ⋯ This is a report of the first application of PPI in Hungary. The observed rate of acute proctitis was negligible, the rate and severity of acute cysto-prostatitis was tolerable. With the use of intraoperative planning, dose distributions met the dose-volume constraints in most of the cases. The biochemical control is excellent but the follow-up time is still short.
