Real time imaging & robotic precision
Aquablation therapy, also known as AQUABEAM robotic system or water jet ablation therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate.
It combines robotic precision with a high-powered and heat-free water jet to remove excess prostate tissue, providing long-lasting relief from urinary symptoms. Guided by real-time imaging, surgeons have access to advanced precision for targeted removal of excess prostate tissue while preserving surrounding nerves, which minimises the likelihood of complications.
Reduced risk of side effects
As the only BPH procedure that utilises robotic technology, Aquablation therapy offers an exceptionally low risk of common side effects typically associated with other treatments, such as loss of sexual function and incontinence. Clinical studies have consistently demonstrated that Aquablation therapy outperforms traditional surgical options in terms of preserving continence, erections and ejaculation. Regardless of prostate size and shape, and it delivers consistent and dependable outcomes.

Why choose Aquablation Therapy?
Lower Risk of Complications
Clinical studies have consistently demonstrated that Aquablation therapy outperforms traditional surgical options in terms of preserving continence, erections and ejaculation. Regardless of prostate size and shape, Aquablation delivers consistent and dependable outcomes.
Robotic Precision & Imaging
Aquablation therapy is the only procedure that uses robotic technology for precise tissue removal. This advanced technique minimises the risk of human error and improves accuracy. Aquablation also benefits by integrating ultrasound imaging so that surgeons gain real-time visualisation of the entire prostate to enhance surgical precision.
Long-Term Symptom Relief
Patients who undergo Aquablation therapy can anticipate long-lasting relief from BPH symptoms. Clinical studies have indicated significant improvements persisting for up to five years following the procedure. The recovery process following Aquablation therapy is designed to prioritise patient comfort.
Important Information
In clinical studies, 99% of men preserved continence, 100% men of preserved erections and 89% men preserved ejaculation. To find out more visit www.aquablation.com.

Frequently asked questions
Aquablation Therapy is an innovative, NICE-approved treatment. It offers precise and minimally invasive treatment for patients struggling with an enlarged prostate (BPH).
Before your procedure, your surgeon will create a personalised treatment plan which identifies important anatomy to preserve in order to maintain sexual function and continence.
Once the plan is created, a robotically-controlled, heat-free waterjet removes the prostate tissue. This robotic technology ensures the prostate tissue is removed precisely to provide long-lasting relief from BPH symptoms.
Aquablation uses robotic technology together with real-time imaging to enhance surgical precision. Because of this, Aquablation therapy carries an exceptionally low risk of common side effects typically associated with alternative BPH treatments, such as loss of sexual function and incontinence. Clinical studies have indicated significant improvements persisting for up to five years following the procedure.
You should not have any pain from the operation, but you may have some discomfort from the catheter.
If you experience spasms from the catheter, or have a sudden urge to pass urine, please tell a member of staff as these symptoms can often be relieved.
You may experience a mild burning feeling or find it a little uncomfortable to pass urine at first. This is because your urethra will be swollen and sore from the surgery and having the catheter in place. This is normal and should not last long (usually between 10 days and two weeks).
The procedure typically takes less than an hour and involves a 1-2 night stay.
Patients are usually able to go home after a 1 night stay.
Heavy lifting should be avoided for the first week or so following the procedure. However, return to light exercise and work activities should be possible within 7 to 14 days.
You should be able to have sexual intercourse soon after surgery, as long as there is no bleeding and you and your partner both feel ready.
