Aqua Ablation Therapy Benefits

Efficacy:

• Aqua ablation demonstrates noninferior, equal, or superior results compared with TURP (gold standard).
• Measured by International Prostate Symptom Score and Qmax (flow rate).
• 5-year data confirm strong symptom improvement comparable with TURP.

Safety:

• Urinary incontinence:0.1% (aqua ablation) vs up to 7%+ (TURP)
• Blood transfusion rate:0.1% (aqua ablation), lower than TURP
• Ejaculation preservation:89%-90% (aqua ablation) vs ~75% (TURP)
• Erectile dysfunction rate:0% for aqua ablation

Durability:

• Retreatment rate (5 years):
• TURP: ~12%
• Aqua ablation: ~6% (half of TURP’s rate)

Aqua ablation provides a safer, more durable alternative to TURP with comparable or superior efficacy.
