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.
