Experience The Blessing Difference: Aquablation Therapy

This is a minimally invasive, robotically assisted procedure that uses a heat-free waterjet to remove excess prostate tissue, offering a precise, long-lasting solution for symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) of any size. It combines real-time ultrasound and camera imaging to minimize risks to sexual function and continence, typically requiring an overnight hospital stay and providing significant, durable relief from urinary symptoms. 

Key Aspects

  • Procedure Details
    The procedure lasts about an hour under general anesthesia. A robotically controlled, heat-free waterjet removes prostate tissue while the surgeon maps the area using 3D ultrasound imaging to preserve critical structures.
  • Target Population
    Ideal for men with moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) who have not found relief through medication or lifestyle changes. It is suitable for any prostate size or shape.

83% 
men with BPH are not willing to sacrifice sexual function for symptom relief with surgery

3 in 4
men with BPH feel that surgery requires a tradeoff between symptom relief and side effects

1 in 2
men with BPH did not realize how important maintaining sexual function was to them before surgery

Benefits & Outcomes:

  • Low Risk of Sexual Dysfunction: Unlike traditional therapies (e.g., TURP) Aquablation shows no significant impact on ejaculation, erectile function, or continence.
  • Durability: Clinical studies show significant symptom relief lasts for at least 3-5 years, with potential lasting results for 10-15 years.
  • Minimal Invasiveness: The procedure generally leads to a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgeries.

Post-Operative Care
Patients usually stay overnight for observation, with most returning to normal activities within a few weeks. 

Comparison to Other Treatments

While TURP is the traditional standard, Aquablation provides similar efficacy in reducing symptoms with a lower risk of sexual side effects and complications. The use of a heat-free method prevents thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
