What Should I know about Robotic Aquablation Procedure for Prostate Enlargement?

Aquablation Therapy, an advanced, robot-assisted treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH. Offered through our Centre of Excellence for Specialized Prostate Treatment, this innovative technology represents a significant advancement in the management of lower urinary tract symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.

Aquablation therapy uses real-time ultrasound imaging and robotic precision to remove obstructive prostate tissue with exceptional accuracy. By avoiding heat and relying on a controlled waterjet, the procedure is designed to minimise side effects, protect surrounding structures and support faster recovery.

Robotic Aquablation is a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided procedure that precisely targets prostate tissue responsible for urinary obstruction. Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s anatomy using advanced imaging, allowing surgeons to plan and deliver consistent, accurate results.

Unlike traditional surgical techniques, Robotic Aquablation therapy uses a heat-free waterjet, reducing the risk of damage to nearby tissues and helping preserve normal urinary and sexual function.

Key Benefits of Robotic Aquablation Therapy

Patients choose Robotic Aquablation therapy for its combination of precision, safety and recovery advantages, including:

• Minimally invasive approach with no external incisions
• Heat-free waterjet technology designed to protect surrounding tissue
• Real-time imaging for accurate and personalised treatment planning
• Designed to help preserve bladder control and sexual function
• Suitable for small, medium and large prostates
• Short hospital stays with a faster return to daily activities

Robotic Aquablation therapy offers durable symptom relief and improved urinary flow for men affected by BPH.

Robotic Aquablation therapy may be suitable for men experiencing moderate to severe urinary symptoms related to an enlarged prostate, such as:

• Weak, interrupted or slow urine stream
• Frequent urination, especially at night
• Sudden urgency or difficulty starting urination
• Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying

It may also be considered for men who:

• Have not achieved adequate relief from medication
• Experience side effects from prostate medications
• Are seeking a minimally invasive, long-term treatment option for BPH

A specialist consultation is required to determine individual suitability.

How the procedure works?

Using advanced ultrasound imaging, our Urologist creates a detailed, three-dimensional treatment plan based on the size and shape of the prostate. A robotic system then delivers a controlled, heat-free waterjet to remove only the tissue causing obstruction.

This combination of real-time visualisation and robotic consistency allows for precise, reproducible outcomes while supporting patient safety throughout the procedure
