Mohamad Baker Berjaoui, MD
University of Toronto
This study presents the final analysis comparing clinical trial outcomes of Aquablation to TURP for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in small-to-moderate prostates (WATER study: NCT02505919) to those in large prostates (WATER II: NCT03123250) at five-year follow-up.

About Aquablation Therapy
Aquablation therapy is the first and only ultrasound guided, robotic-assisted, heat-free waterjet for the treatment of BPH. The system’s real-time ultrasound imaging provides the surgeon with a multi-dimensional view of the prostate enabling personalized treatment planning tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy. The surgeon can specify which areas of the prostate to remove while preserving the anatomy that controls erectile function, ejaculatory function, and continence. Once the treatment plan is mapped by the surgeon, the predictable robotic-assisted execution enables prostate tissue to be removed in a precise, targeted, and controlled fashion.
