Aquablation Therapy: Advanced BPH Treatment at Sussex Premier Health, Eastbourne

Aquablation therapy is a modern, minimally invasive treatment for men suffering with urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia – BPH). At Sussex Premier Health, we are pleased to offer this highly effective, robot-assisted waterjet procedure to private patients in Eastbourne.

Aquablation combines real-time imaging with robotic precision, enabling your consultant to remove excess prostate tissue safely, consistently and with reduced risk to urinary and sexual function.

 

What are the benefits of Aquablation therapy?

  • Robotic Accuracy and Control: Aquablation uses robotic technology together with ultrasound guidance, allowing your surgeon to remove enlarged prostate tissue precisely while avoiding surrounding structures.
  • Lower Risk of Sexual Side Effects: Compared with traditional BPH surgery, Aquablation is designed to preserve ejaculatory and erectile function.
  • Fast Procedure, Fast Recovery: Treatment is typically completed in under an hour, with many patients experiencing rapid symptom relief and shorter hospital stays.

What is Aquablation Therapy?

Aquablation therapy is an innovative, minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (BPH). Unlike traditional surgical techniques, Aquablation uses a robot-controlled waterjet guided by real-time ultrasound imaging. This ensures the precise removal of prostate tissue without heat, significantly reducing the risk of damage to nerves or surrounding structures.

The procedure provides:

  • A personalised, image-guided surgical plan
  • Preservation of ejaculation
  • A reduced risk of incontinence
  • Strong outcomes for urinary flow and symptom relief
  • Aquablation is usually performed as a day case or single-night stay, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days

Would I be suitable Aquablation?

You may be suitable for Aquablation if you experience urinary symptoms such as:

  • Frequent or urgent urination

  • A weak stream or difficulty starting urination

  • Night-time urination (nocturia)

  • Incomplete bladder emptying

  • Interrupted flow

Ideal candidates typically:

  • Have moderate to severe symptoms that affect daily life

  • Have not responded sufficiently to medication

  • Have a prostate that is enlarged (of any size)

  • Wish to choose a treatment with lower risk of sexual side effects

Your consultant will consider your overall health, prostate size, previous treatments and personal preferences when determining if Aquablation is the best option for you.
