Video Transcript:

I think overall, it just adds to the literature that supports that Aquablation is an effective tool and supports that it is an effective tool for men with urinary retention, and really all-comers, especially those who really wished to preserve their ejaculatory and erectile function. We know that over 90% of men preserve ejaculation with this therapy, which is really what makes it stand out from some of the other more resective or more aggressive prostate treatments. But men with and without retention all do very well from the voiding standpoint with relatively low rates of complications and are able to preserve that, so I think this just adds to the literature and is supportive of the use of this technology in pretty much all-comers. We know it can treat a variety of prostate sizes, so it's a nice treatment that is a great option for many men.
