FAQs

Aquablation therapy is performed in a hospital. You will be under anaesthesia for the entire procedure. The procedure typically takes an hour and may involve an overnight stay.

There are two key steps to the procedure—personalised treatment planning and removing the problematic prostate tissue. For more details on the procedure, visit the Aquablation therapy page.

As with most benign prostatic hyperplasia procedures, you will wake up with a catheter following Aquablation therapy, which allows you to urinate while your urethra heals. Patients typically stay overnight in the hospital. While no one likes staying overnight in a hospital, the benefit with Aquablation therapy is that most patients end up leaving the hospital without a catheter.^1-3

Aquablation therapy is a one-of-a-kind procedure. It is the only procedure that uses a heat-free waterjet controlled by robotic-assisted technology to remove problematic prostate tissue and combines a camera (called a cystoscope) with ultrasound imaging, giving the surgeon the ability to see the entire prostate in real time. As a result, Aquablation therapy is precise, consistent, and delivers predictable outcomes and long-term relief no matter how large your prostate is. Aquablation therapy also has a low rate of irreversible complications, such as incontinence, ejaculatory dysfunction, and erectile dysfunction.^1,2

Aquablation therapy has been proven as a safe and effective treatment for patients suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Aquablation therapy can be performed on prostates of any size. Your urologist will evaluate if you are an appropriate candidate for Aquablation therapy.

The most common side effects are mild and temporary. These may include mild pain, bleeding or strain while urinating, discomfort in the pelvis, inability to empty the bladder, a frequent and/or urgent need to urinate, and bladder or urinary tract infection.

Other risks include, but are not limited to, ejaculatory dysfunction and a low risk of injury to the urethra or rectum. Speak with your urologist about the potential side effects and risks associated with Aquablation therapy.
