Aquablation for BPH: A Breakthrough in Prostate Health
WHAT IS AQUABLATION
Aquablation is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Unlike traditional surgical methods, Aquablation harnesses the power of water to precisely and safely remove excess prostate tissue.
How Does Aquablation Treat BPH
Aquablation leverages the principles of waterjet technology and robotics to offer a highly effective BPH treatment. Here’s how it works:
| Precise Imaging: During the procedure, a surgeon uses advanced imaging to create a detailed 3D map of the prostate, which guides the treatment. | |
| Robotic Precision: The surgeon employs a robotic-assisted device, which precisely targets and removes the overgrown prostate tissue using a high-velocity waterjet. This automation ensures accuracy and minimizes damage to surrounding tissue. | |
| Customized Treatment: The surgeon can tailor the Aquablation procedure to the unique shape and size of each patient’s prostate, optimizing outcomes and minimizing side effects. | |
| Minimally Invasive: Aquablation is considered a minimally invasive procedure, resulting in less discomfort and a shorter recovery period compared to traditional surgical methods. |
Is Aquablation Right for You?
Aquablation offers several advantages, such as rapid symptom relief, a low risk of sexual side effects, and a shorter recovery period compared to traditional surgeries. It may be the right choice for those seeking a minimally invasive and highly precise solution for their BPH.

Determining whether Aquablation is the right choice for your BPH treatment is a decision best made in consultation with one of our specialists. Here are some factors to consider:
Prostate Size: Aquablation is particularly effective for larger prostates, but it can also benefit those with smaller prostates experiencing severe symptoms.
Symptom Severity: Aquablation is often recommended for individuals with moderate to severe BPH symptoms, including frequent urination, weak urine flow, and difficulty emptying the bladder.
Health Status: Your overall health and any pre-existing medical conditions will be considered by our specialists in determining the suitability of Aquablation.
