Can hydrogel spacer be placed in a previously irradiated pelvis if considering prostate radiation by brachytherapy or SBRT?
Are there any anatomical changes that would make the placement impractical or hurtful for the patient?

The simplest answer to your question is “maybe”. Spacers have been placed in previously irradiated patients. You won’t know until you attempt to hydrodissect during the procedure.
