AQUABEAM ROBOTIC SYSTEM: the most advanced and minimally invasive technique for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Aquabeam robotic surgery offers an effective, minimally invasive solution for the problems caused by prostate enlargement, medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). This cutting-edge technology is currently considered the most advanced surgical option for treating large prostates safely and precisely.

What is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)?

BPH is a common, age-related condition affecting men, particularly those over the age of 50. It involves the progressive enlargement of the prostate gland, which surrounds the urethra. As the prostate grows, it can compress the urethra, restricting or even blocking the flow of urine.

This condition often leads to troublesome urinary symptoms that can significantly impact quality of life, including:

• A constant urge to urinate

• Frequent urination during the night (nocturia)

• Difficulty starting urination

• Intermittent urination and post-urination dribbling

• A persistent sensation of incomplete bladder emptying

Prostate enlargement is typically benign, though in some cases it may indicate prostate cancer. This is why routine urological check-ups are essential, ideally starting from the age of 45 to 50, to ensure early detection and appropriate management.

How Aquabeam Robotic Surgery Transforms BPH Treatment

For men diagnosed with BPH, surgical intervention is often recommended when other treatments are ineffective. Understandably, patients are concerned about the risks of incontinence or potential impacts on sexual function.

As Dr Gonzalo Sanz, Urologist and Medical Director at Clínica Premium, explains:
“The vast majority of patients worry that surgery might affect their continence, and without doubt, one of the greatest concerns is the potential permanent impact on sexual function.”

The Aquabeam Robotic System is designed with preservation as its top priority. This pioneering surgical technique provides significant long-term symptom relief, with exceptionally high rates of patient satisfaction.

Clinical studies on men treated with Aquabeam technology have demonstrated impressive results:

✅ 99% of patients experienced no urinary incontinence
✅ 0% reported any negative impact on erectile function
✅ Preservation of ejaculatory function was achieved

Unrivalled Precision and Safer Outcomes

One of the most remarkable benefits of the Aquabeam System, highly valued by surgeons, is its unparalleled precision. The system uses robotic assistance with millimetre-level accuracy, dramatically reducing the margin for human error.

The energy source utilised is room-temperature water, meaning no thermal damage occurs to surrounding tissues. This contributes to faster recovery, noticeable improvement in urinary symptoms, and excellent functional outcomes.

Aquabeam surgery is suitable for all prostate sizes, including significantly enlarged prostates, making it a versatile and highly effective option for many patients.
