Aquablation of the prostate

Aquablation Prostate Procedure in Santa Ana, California

Minimally Invasive, Non-surgical, and Surgical Treatments for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. This condition affects millions of men, and often causes problems with urination, including urinary obstruction or retention of urine. Other symptoms include slow urine stream, pushing or straining to empty the bladder, urinary frequency, nocturia (waking at night to urinate) and even urinary incontinence.

Our urology clinic located in Santa Ana has urologists with extensive experience of more than 20 years. They are well-equipped to diagnose and treat BPH in men residing in Orange County and surrounding areas. If you are encountering BPH symptoms or have already been diagnosed with the condition, do not hesitate to reach out to our clinic to arrange for a consultation. We can evaluate if Aquablation is the ideal treatment option for you.

Among men with BPH, 83% are not willing to sacrifice sexual function to relieve BPH symptoms

Prior to undergoing surgery, 1 in 2 men with BPH were unaware of how important maintaining sexual function was to them

The majority of men with BPH consider surgery a compromise between symptoms relief and side effects

Treatment plan for BPH 

Aquablation

Aquablation is a new option for treating BPH. It has all the advantages of removing excess prostate tissue, but with shorter operative times and fewer side effects. The prostate is monitored by ultrasound and via a cystoscope. Using computer/robotic control, a high pressure jet of water removes tissue following a precise treatment plan. This spares the bladder neck as well as the ducts that are needed for ejaculation. The risk of sexual problems is low after Aquablation, while maintaining the “gold standard” benefit of the more traditional prostate tissue removal procedures.

Much larger prostates can be treated with Aquablation rather than bipolar saline TURP.  In the past, prostates significantly over 100 cc needed open surgery. Aquablation allows for treatment of prostates much larger, so almost all men can now have a minimally invasive procedure to remove excess prostate tissue without needing open surgery.
