What Are the Benefits of Aquablation Compared to Traditional BPH Procedures?
Aquablation offers several advantages over traditional surgical treatments, such as TURP, particularly for patients concerned about ejaculatory related side effects.
Benefits of Aquablation include:
- Lower risk of erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory changes
- Consistent outcomes for most prostate sizes
- Short hospital stay with predictable recovery
- Durable improvement in urinary symptoms
Because the procedure is guided by robotic technology and real-time imaging, Aquablation delivers precise and reproducible results across a wide range of prostate anatomies.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Aquablation?
Aquablation may be an effective option for men experiencing moderate to severe urinary symptoms related to BPH.
This procedure is commonly considered for patients who:
- Have not achieved relief with medication
- Have larger prostates that limit other minimally invasive treatments
- Want to preserve sexual and urinary function
- Are you seeking a long-term surgical solution
