Aquablation® Therapy

BPH Treatment without Compromise

Aquablation therapy is a safe and effective treatment for patients suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms caused by BPH, including frequent urination, difficulty starting urination and a weak stream. It can be performed on prostates of any size and shape. Aquablation therapy is a resective procedure, meaning the prostate tissue causing symptoms is removed. No incision is made, as the prostate is reached through the urethra.

Why Patients Choose Aquablation Therapy

Confidence in procedure

Long-term relief

Low rate of complications

Reduced risk of sexual side effects

The Procedure

Surgical management of BPH often requires heat and/or an incision. Aquablation therapy is the first and only image-guided, heat-free robotic therapy for BPH. It requires no incision, as it is performed through the urethra, using the power of water to remove prostate tissue. The treatment is performed in a hospital and is done under anesthesia. It typically takes less than an hour and involves an overnight stay.

Step 1: Creating a Surgical Map

Every prostate is unique in size and shape, so it is important for a surgeon to customize the surgery to the patient’s specific anatomy.
Aquablation therapy is 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. All other surgical procedures use only a camera.
The addition of ultrasound imaging in Aquablation therapy provides the surgeon with a multidimensional view of the prostate, enabling the surgeon to map which parts of the prostate to remove and which parts to avoid depending on the patient’s unique anatomy.
The surgeon will work to map around the parts of the prostate that cause irreversible complications like erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction, and incontinence.

Step 2: Removing the Prostate Tissue

With the surgical plan in place, a robotically-controlled, heat-free waterjet removes the prostate tissue that has been mapped out. Surgical management of BPH that incorporates robotic technology, like that used in Aquablation therapy, greatly minimizes potential human error and ensures the prostate tissue is removed precisely, consistently and predictably.
It should be noted that some surgeons may choose to use a minimal amount of cautery following an Aquablation procedure to control bleeding.

Aquablation Therapy Recovery

As with most surgical management of BPH, you will wake up with a catheter, which allows you to pee while your urethra heals.

Patients typically stay overnight in the hospital. Before discharge, the doctor will typically remove the catheter and ask you to pee on your own.

If you cannot pee on your own and empty your bladder, the doctor may send you home with a catheter for a few days or keep you an additional night in the hospital.

Aquablation recovery time depends on each patient, but you may experience mild burning during urination up to a couple of weeks. This can be managed with mild pain medication. You can resume your normal activities once approved by your doctor.
