Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations
Men's Health | Last Active: 48 minutes ago | Replies (460)Comment receiving replies
Two question to those of you who whent through Aquablation:
1. Were you fixed in a scanner during the procedure, or
2. did the doctor use a microsound device in the rectum?
I just wonder if the first is more safe than the second?

This is a re-write of my earlier reply.
1) Yes, there is a separate probe inserted in the rectum to create an image of the prostate gland. I think this is what you refer to as the "scanner" and the process by which it creates the image is by ultrasound or "microsound."
2) There is a separate "robotic handpiece" that has a camera and nozzle for the high-velocity saline water that removes prostate tissue targeted by the urologist.
