Procedures & Treatments

Aquablation

Aquablation therapy uses a robotically-guided, heat-free waterjet to precisely remove obstructing prostate tissue. Combining real-time ultrasound mapping with autonomous robotic delivery, Aquablation offers consistent, reproducible outcomes for prostates of any size — with a favorable sexual side-effect profile.

How It Works

Ultrasound maps the prostate; surgeon outlines the treatment zone
AQUABEAM robot delivers a precise high-velocity saline waterjet
Obstructing tissue removed with sub-millimeter accuracy
No heat — eliminates thermal damage to surrounding structures
OR procedure under spinal or general anesthesia

Who Is a Candidate

Symptomatic BPH, prostate ≥ 30 cc
Ideal for large glands (80–150+ cc) where other options fall short
Men who want to reduce retrograde ejaculation risk
Failed or want to avoid ongoing medication
Candidates for general or spinal anesthesia

What to Expect

Outpatient; typically 1 overnight stay for monitoring
Catheter removed within 24–48 hours post-op
Mild hematuria common for 1–2 weeks
Light activity in 1–2 weeks; full recovery in 4–6 weeks
Lower retrograde ejaculation rates than TURP; durable at 5 years
