Aquablation Therapy for BPH

Aquablation Therapy for BPH, middle age man

At Augusta Urology Associates, we know how frustrating and disruptive the symptoms of an enlarged prostate can be. Constant trips to the bathroom, a weak or interrupted stream, and the lingering feeling that your bladder never fully empties can interfere with your sleep, your routine, and your overall quality of life. You shouldn’t have to plan your day around your symptoms.

That’s why we offer Aquablation Therapy, an advanced, minimally invasive treatment that uses precision technology to safely remove excess prostate tissue. Designed to provide effective, long-lasting relief for men living with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Aquablation helps restore comfort, confidence, and control so you can get back to living without the constant interruption of urinary symptoms.

Questions and Answers

What Is Aquablation Therapy?

Aquablation is a robot-assisted procedure that uses a controlled, high-velocity stream of sterile water to remove the prostate tissue responsible for obstruction — without the need for external incisions. Guided by real-time imaging, this advanced technology targets only the problematic tissue while preserving surrounding structures.

Why Consider Aquablation?

There are many ways to treat BPH, but Aquablation stands out for several reasons:

  • Precision-focused: Imaging and robotics work together to accurately remove obstructive tissue based on your unique anatomy.

  • Gentle approach: A heat-free waterjet helps protect nerves and tissues that are important for bladder control and sexual function.

  • Effective relief: Most patients experience meaningful improvement in symptoms and enjoy better urinary flow following treatment.

How the Procedure Works

Aquablation begins with detailed imaging to map your prostate, followed by robotic control of the waterjet to remove excess tissue safely and efficiently. The whole process is typically completed in less than an hour under anesthesia.

Is Aquablation Right for You?

If you’ve struggled with bothersome symptoms of BPH, especially after medications haven’t brought enough relief, Aquablation may be a strong treatment option. It’s designed to work for men with prostates of varying sizes and aims to deliver durable results with a smooth recovery.
