Treatments - Aquablation Therapy

Aquablation therapy is an innovative minimally invasive robotic procedure for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) that uses a heat-free, image-guided water jet to remove prostate tissue.

What is Aquablation therapy?

Aquablation therapy is an FDA-cleared surgical treatment for BPH that combines:
  • Real-time ultrasound imaging
  • Robotic precision
  • A heat-free, high-velocity waterjet
Unlike traditional procedures, Aquablation removes excess prostate tissue without using heat, which may reduce the risk of certain side effects.

How it works

  • Your surgeon maps the prostate using real-time imaging.
  • A robotic system precisely guides the treatment plan.
  • A targeted waterjet removes the obstructing prostate tissue.
  • Urine flow improves once the prostatic blockage is relieved.

Benefits of Aquablation therapy

  • Minimally invasive
  • No heat used to remove tissue
  • Designed to preserve sexual function
  • Effective for small, medium to very large prostates
  • Typically, short procedure time and hospital stay
  • Durable symptom relief

Who is a candidate?

Aquablation Therapy may be right for men who:

  • Have moderate to severe BPH symptoms
  • Want long-term symptom relief
  • Wish to minimize risk to sexual function
  • Have larger prostates not ideal for some other minimally invasive treatments

What to expect after treatment

  • Most patients stay one or two nights in the hospital
  • A temporary catheter is typically placed whilst in hospital
  • Mild urinary discomfort and blood in urine occurs for a short time
  • Symptom improvement often begins within 2–4 weeks
