Aquablation® Therapy at Touro
Touro is proud to be the first hospital in Louisiana to offer Aquablation therapy® , a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as enlarged prostate. Utilizing the new HYDROS™ Robotic System, this advanced technology provides significant, durable relief from BPH symptoms, while preserving both sexual function and continence.
What is Aquablation® Therapy?
Aquablation therapy is a breakthrough treatment designed for men suffering from BPH, a condition that affects urinary function as men age. BPH can lead to symptoms such as:
- Urgency to urinate
- Frequent urination, especially at night
- Difficulty emptying the bladder
If left untreated, BPH can cause serious complications like kidney or bladder damage, bladder stones, and incontinence.
The standard treatment for BPH has traditionally been surgery, which can result in unwanted side effects. However, Aquablation therapy offers a minimally invasive alternative, using AT-powered robotic waterjet technology to precisely target and remove problematic prostate tissue while protecting surrounding tissue.
