Aquablation is an advanced, robotic-assisted surgical procedure that treats an enlarged prostate (BPH) by using a heat-free waterjet to remove excess tissue. It is performed under anesthesia with no incisions, resulting in durable, long-term urinary relief while significantly reducing the risks of sexual dysfunction compared to traditional surgeries.How It WorksDuring the procedure, surgeons use a combination of a cystoscope and real-time ultrasound imaging to map out the exact size and shape of the prostate. A robotically controlled waterjet is then deployed through the urethra to precisely remove the tissue blocking urine flow, a step that usually takes just a few minutes. The heat-free nature of the water stream helps protect the surrounding nerves and anatomy that control sexual function and continence

Don't know if this helps . . .
