When a man is diagnosed with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and surgery is the best option to address the problem, his goal is to return to normal and reduce or eliminate symptoms with the least possible risk. However, most patients are very concerned that the surgery will cause incontinence, and one of their biggest fears is that it will have a permanent impact on their sexual function.
Preservation is one of the major advantages of surgery with the Aquabeam robotic system. This innovative surgical technique for benign prostatic hyperplasia provides significant long-term symptom relief and boasts high patient satisfaction rates. As confirmed by several clinical studies conducted on men who underwent this procedure, 99% of the men experienced no urinary incontinence and no impact on their erectile function, while also maintaining their ejaculatory function.
One of the most appreciated qualities of the Aquabeam System by surgeons is its exceptional precision, its millimeter accuracy that minimizes the margin of human error. Furthermore, the type of energy used (room temperature water) prevents any thermal damage to nearby structures. This results in effective outcomes that provide rapid improvement in urinary symptoms and a quick recovery. Moreover, this treatment can be applied to any type of prostate, regardless of size; in fact, it can even be performed on very large prostates.
