Arkansas Urology, Baptist Health Offer Aquablation Therapy

Arkansas Urology and Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock are using a new, minimally invasive surgical offering to aid men with lower urinary tract symptoms as a result of BPH.

Aquablation therapy uses the power of water delivered with robotic precision to provide long-lasting symptom relief with low rates of irreversible complications, regardless of prostate size or shape. It significantly reduces the chances of sexual dysfunction and incontinence.

Aquablation therapy is performed by the AquaBeam Robotic System, the first FDA-cleared, surgical robot utilizing automated tissue resection or the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. It combines real-time, multi-dimensional imaging, automated robotic technology, and heat-free waterjet ablation technology for targeted, controlled, and immediate removal of prostate tissue. Aquablation therapy offers predictable and reproducible outcomes, independent of prostate anatomy, prostate size, or surgeon experience.

“Surgical treatments today for enlarged prostate often limit patients to choose between either a high degree of symptom relief with high rates of irreversible complications or low degree of symptom relief with low rates of irreversible complications,” said Timothy Dean Langford, MD, a provider who performs the treatment at Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock and Arkansas Urology. “Aquablation therapy is different, offering a predictable treatment with proven positive outcomes.”
