Abstract

Objective. The objective of this study was to assess the surgical outcomes of aquablation for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, especially on ejaculatory function and urinary continence.

Materials and Methods. A retrospective analysis was conducted, on patients >40 years, with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia, and a prostate volume <100 mL. These patients were treated with aquablation, a minimally invasive, robot-assisted surgical technique that uses a high-speed water jet and no heat for prostate resection.

Results. Eight patients were included with mean age of 70 (range 50-82) years and a mean prostate volume of 51 (range 25-94) mL. Overall, the mean International Prostate Symptom Score decreased 76.7%. All patients had a >60% score reduction without losing their ejaculatory function and urinary continence. No serious adverse events were reported.

Conclusions. In our experience, aquablation is an efficient and safe method that offers high cut precision for prostate resection.
