You go to surgery and the Urologist and the radiation Oncologist puts you to sleep and inserts the seeds into your prostate gland. You are mildly radioactive until the radiation wears off. Its painless and you usually go home either the same day or the next morning.

You're spelling it wrong, that's probably why you can't find it. It's Prostate. Prostrate means lying down flat.
