Aquablation Therapy – AquaBeam
The AQUABEAM System is an advanced and minimally invasive technique to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. (BPH) This new treatment system solves the problems caused by the enlarged prostate, without putting the patient at risk and with fewer side effects than traditional techniques.
An advanced, minimally invasive treatment for BPH that uses imaging, robotics, and a heat-free waterjet to provide long-lasting relief with low rates of complications. BPH may cause two kinds of symptoms that can impact your quality of life:
- Ability to hold urine – causing you to search for bathrooms throughout the day or to wake up several times a night.
- Emptying your bladder – causing you to push or strain when urinating or to have a weak stream that starts and stops a lot.
If BPH symptoms are left untreated, bladder and kidney function may be impacted over time. Choosing a treatment option can be overwhelming, as it often forces men to compromise in some way. This could mean not responding well to medication, getting limited relief, having a long recovery time, or even having issues with sexual function.
HOW DOES AQUABLATION – THERAPY WORK
- STEP 1: Creating a surgical map
Your surgeon will identify important anatomy that maintains sexual function and continence to create a personalized treatment plan.The tissue inside dotted will be removed while the tissue outside will be left in place. - STEP 2: Removing the Prostate Tissue
Once the plan is created, a robotically-controlled, heatfree waterjet removes the prostate tissue. This robotic technology ensures the prostate tissue is removed precisely, consistently, and predictably.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT
Clinical studies have shown that Aquablation therapy offers significant BPH symptom
relief and low rates of irreversible complications across prostates of all sizes and shapes.
- Improvement in flow of urine.
- Men preserve continence.
- 100% Men preserve erections
- 90% Men preserve ejaculation.
