Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, is a common condition that affects many men as they age. As the prostate grows, it can press on the urethra and make it difficult to urinate. Common symptoms include frequent trips to the bathroom, weak urine flow, trouble starting or stopping urination, and waking up at night to urinate. BPH can significantly impact daily life, making work, travel, sleep, and social activities more challenging. Explore this blog from Griffin Urologist Dr. Johnson Tsui to discover more about BPH.

Introducing Aquablation: Precision Treatment for BPH

Aquablation therapy is a safe, effective, and clinically proven option for men experiencing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. It can treat prostates of any size or shape.

Unlike traditional surgery, Aquablation removes the tissue causing symptoms without any external incisions, using a minimally invasive approach.

What makes Aquablation unique is its robotic, heat-free waterjet technology. This innovative method precisely targets and removes excess prostate tissue, reducing the risk of side effects often associated with traditional treatments.

The AquaBeam Robotic System

Aquablation is performed using the AquaBeam Robotic System, the first robotic platform designed specifically for BPH treatment. It combines real-time imaging, personalized treatment planning, and automated robotics to safely and accurately remove prostate tissue.

During the procedure, the surgeon can see the prostate in detail using both high resolution internal camera and ultrasound imaging, allowing for high precision, consistent results, and predictable relief from symptoms, no matter the size of your prostate.
