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.

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.
