Aquablation therapy is an innovative surgical approach to treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). At Urology Health Solutions, we're excited to be among the first in the Celebration, Florida, area to offer this state-of-the-art, minimally invasive treatment option.
Our team at Urology Health Solutions iscommitted to assisting men affected by BPH in regaining their quality of life.
We understand the complexity involved in selecting a treatment for BPH. This could range from unwanted results with medication, choosing a procedure that only provides minimal relief, facing long recovery periods, or even encountering complications impacting sexual health.
Aquablation therapy is a one-of-a-kindprocedure that aims to minimize this compromise.
What is Aquablation Therapy?
Aquablation therapy uses the power of water delivered with robotic precision to provide long-lasting BPH relief without compromise. It is precise, consistent, and predictable, and provides long-term relief no matter how large your prostate.2,3

How does Aquablation Therapy work?
Aquablation therapy is a resective procedure, which means that the prostate tissue causing symptoms is surgically removed. No incision is made in the abdomen, as the prostate is reached through the urethra.
Aquablation therapy is performed in a hospital and is done under anesthesia. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and involves an overnight stay.

What are the side effects of Aquablation therapy?
One of the main reasons that men delay surgery is that they are concerned that there will be unwanted side effects.1 A recent survey even shows that 85% of men worry that having a procedure will result in incontinence, and 4 out of 5 men are worried it will permanently impact their sexual function.1
In clinical studies, men who had Aquablation therapy had a very low rate of irreversible complications—incontinence, ejaculatory dysfunction, or erectile dysfunction.2,3
Is Aquablation therapy right for you?
Aquablation is a different type of procedure for BPH, and it’s important to schedule an appointment with us to determine if you’re a good candidate. However, there are three main reasons it may be right for you:
1. Low Rates of Irreversible Complications
Aquablation therapyhas a very low rate of irreversible complications like incontinence,ejaculatory dysfunction, or erectile dysfunction2,3,4 because:
- It’s the only procedure that gives surgeons the ability to view the entire prostate and create a map that avoids certain parts of the prostate that may cause irreversible complications.
- It uses a heat-free water jet to remove prostate tissue. Other procedures and technologies that use heat may be damaging to the parts of the prostate that control certain sexual functions. It should be noted that some surgeons may choose to use a minimal amount of cautery after an Aquablation procedure if it’s needed to control bleeding.
2. Confidence in Procedure
Aquablation therapy removes prostate tissue with a robotically-controlled water jet. This robotic technology minimizes human error and ensures the prostate tissue is removed precisely, consistently, and predictably.
3. Long-Term-Relief
In clinical studies, Aquablation therapy has been shown to provide durable symptom relief.2

Aquablation Recovery
As with most BPH procedures, you will wake up with a catheter. Patients typically stay overnight in the hospital. We may send you home with a catheter for a few days or may keep you an additional night in the hospital if you are unable to pee on your own or empty your bladder at the time of discharge.
We know that no one likes staying overnight in a hospital. However, the benefit with Aquablation therapy is that most patients end up leaving the hospital without a catheter.2,3,4
Once you are home, you may experience mild burning during urination for a couple of weeks. This can be managed with mild pain medication.

IMPORTANTSAFETY INFORMATION
All surgical treatments have inherent and associated side effects. Individual’s outcomes may depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to patient characteristics, disease characteristics and/or surgeon experience. The most common side effects are mild and transient and may include mild pain or difficulty when urinating, discomfort in the pelvis, blood in the urine, inability to empty the bladder or a frequent and/or urgent need to urinate, and bladder or urinary tract infection. Other risks include ejaculatory dysfunction and a low risk of injury to the urethra or rectum where the devices gain access to the body for treatment. Further, there may be other risks as in other urological surgery, such as anesthesia risk or the risk of infection, including the potential transmission of blood borne pathogens. For more information about potential side effects and risks associated with Aquablation therapy for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) treatment, speak with your urologist or surgeon. No claim is made that the AquaBeam® Robotic System will cure any medical condition, or entirely eliminate the diseased entity. Repeated treatment or alternative therapies may sometimes be required.
As with any surgical urologic procedure, potential perioperative risks of the Aquablation procedure include but are not limited to the following, some of which may lead to serious outcomes and may require intervention: Anesthesia risk, Bladder or prostate capsule perforation, Bladder neck contracture, Bleeding or blood in the urine, Bruising, Penile or pelvic pain, Irritative symptoms, which may include dysuria, urgency or frequency, Infection,Transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome, Electric shock/burn, Urethral damage causing false passage or stricture, Rectal incontinence / perforation, Sexual dysfunction, including ejaculatory and erectile dysfunction, Incontinence or overactive bladder, Embolism, Urinary Retention
