What is Aquablation therapy? 

First, what is Aquablation therapy? This treatment is known to address benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. Aquablation is resective, meaning the prostate tissue causing symptoms is surgically removed. It uses the power of water to provide results without the compromises often associated with other treatments. 

Unlike medications that cause side effects or invasive surgery that leads to long recovery times or sexual function issues, Aquablation is minimally invasive and can be performed on almost all prostates, regardless of size. Plus, no incision is made in the abdomen, as the prostate is reached through the urethra. 

Who does Aquablation help? 

Many men delay treatment for BPH because they're concerned about unwanted side effects. Aquablation helps men suffering from prostate problems without compromising their quality of life. 

Aquablation is especially beneficial for men who have not responded well to traditional medications or are looking for a solution that doesn't involve long recovery times or high risks of complications. 

How this treatment for BPH works 

The Aquablation procedure can be performed with our team in Jacksonville, FL, and typically takes less than an hour with an overnight stay. 

First, surgeons use ultrasound imaging combined with a camera to see the prostate in real time. This allows them to create a precise map of which tissue to remove and which areas to avoid. 

Then, a robotically-controlled, heat-free waterjet removes the targeted prostate tissue. This robotic technology ensures the tissue is removed precisely and consistently. When needed, surgeons may use a minimal amount of cautery to control bleeding. 

Outcomes and results from Aquablation 

If you're researching your prostate surgery options, here's why many men at Kasraeian Urology choose Aquablation therapy:  

• Low rates of irreversible complications: Clinical studies show very low rates of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. The Aquablation procedure allows surgeons to avoid the parts of the prostate that cause these issues, and the heat-free waterjet doesn't damage tissue the way other technologies might. 
• Precise, predictable results: The robotically controlled waterjet ensures effective tissue removal, minimizing human error and giving patients confidence in their treatment. 
• Long-term relief: Clinical studies have shown long-lasting symptom relief. Men experience dramatic reductions in BPH symptoms, and the results are long-lasting, no matter how large the prostate. 
• Quick recovery: Most patients stay overnight in the hospital, and most leave without a catheter. Recovery is generally quick, and men can return to normal activities within a short timeframe.
