Aquablation Therapy
An advanced, minimally invasive treatment for BPH that uses imaging, robotics, and a heat-free waterjet to provide long-lasting relief with low rates of complications.
Aquablation therapy is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment that uses the power of water delivered with robotic precision to provide long-lasting BPH relief without compromise. It is a safe and effective treatment for patients suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to BPH. It can be performed on prostates of any size and shape.
What is Aquablation ?
Aquablation is a resective BPH procedure, meaning that the prostate tissue causing symptoms is removed. The procedure is incision-less, as the prostate is reached through the urethra. It is the only procedure that uses a heat-free waterjet controlled by robotic technology to remove prostate tissue.
In addition, it is also the only procedure that combines a camera (called a cystoscope) with ultrasound imaging, giving the surgeon the ability to see the entire prostate in real time. As a result, Aquablation therapy is precise, consistent, and predictable, and provides long-term relief no matter how large your prostate is.
Who is a Candidate?
Aquablation therapy is designed to deliver effective, safe and durable outcomes, independent of prostate size or shape, for males suffering from LUTS due to BPH.
Aquablation benefits
Men who choose to treat their BPH with Aquablation therapy can benefit from the following:
Low Rates of Irreversible Complications
Aquablation therapy has a very low rate of irreversible complications (incontinence, ejaculatory dysfunction, erectile dysfunction) because it provides surgeons with a multidimensional view of the prostate through ultrasound imaging. This enables the surgeon to create a surgical map of the areas of the prostate to remove and those to avoid. In other surgical procedures, the surgeon’s view of the prostate is limited to a single camera (cystoscope).
More details about the procedure
It is the only procedure that uses a heat-free waterjet controlled by robotic technology to remove prostate tissue and combines a camera (called a cystoscope) with ultrasound imaging, giving the surgeon the ability to see the entire prostate in real time. As a result, Aquablation therapy is precise, consistent and predictable and provides long-term relief no matter how large your prostate is. It has a very low rate of irreversible complications—incontinence, ejaculatory dysfunction, erectile dysfunction.
Long-term relief
Clinical studies have shown that aquablation therapy provides long-term relief within three years..
