The procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic. A small ultrasound probe is placed into the rectum, and a camera with a built-in water jet is passed through the urethra. Using ultrasound guidance from two angles, a 3D map of the prostate is created. This allows Mr Nettleton tto plan the treatment precisely,
The robot then delivers a water jet to remove the excess prostate tissue, following the exact plan. Afterward, bleeding is controlled using a small loop electrode. A catheter is placed at the end of the operation and usually removed before discharge.

Aquablation is suitable for a wide range of prostate sizes and offers consistent, predictable results. Unlike some traditional procedures such as TURP and laser surgery, it is heat-free, meaning there is a lower risk of affecting ejaculation and no evidence of harm to erectile function. Studies show only 0.5% of men develop stress incontinence after treatment. There is a 0% risk of erectile dysfunction and only a 11% chance of ejaculatory dysfunction.
Aquablation is one of several treatments available for benign prostate enlargement. Mr Nettleton offers a thorough assessment to help each patient understand their symptoms and choose the most appropriate option. This might include:
Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, taking into account prostate size, symptom severity, personal goals, and other medical conditions
Clear guidance for patients seeking expert hip and knee treatment, from diagnosis to recovery.
