This december we had the opportunity to try for the first time in Spain the Aquablation system, from
Procept Biorobotics for the treatment of BPH.
It is a robotic system that uses a very powerful water jet to deobstruct the prostatic urethra, and it does that in just 5 minutes. The patient is awake, tipically under spinal anaesthesia.
It needs some preparation, but it is surprising to see how fast one can treat prostates of all sizes in such a reduced time.
The main advantage of this system is that 90% of men treated preserve the ability to ejaculate normally.
This is why this technology is very interesting, as many men that need to face an operation for BPH would like to preserve ejaculation, that is tipically affected by other surgical techniques.
