Aquablation Therapy

AquaBeam® Robotic System for Aquablation Therapy

Healthcare 21 is proud to have exclusively partnered with Procept BioRobotics in delivering Aquablation therapy in Ireland. Aquablation therapy is the first and only ultrasound guided, robotic-assisted, heat-free waterjet for the treatment of BPH. The system’s real-time ultrasound imaging provides the surgeon with a multi-dimensional view of the prostate enabling personalised treatment planning tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy. The surgeon can specify which areas of the prostate to remove while preserving the anatomy that controls erectile function, ejaculatory function and continence. Once the treatment plan is mapped by the surgeon, the predictable robotic-assisted execution enables prostate tissue to be removed in a precise, targeted and controlled fashion.

Backed by clinical data studying prostates of various sizes, Aquablation therapy is clinically proven to provide long-term symptom relief with low rates of irreversible complications for prostates of all shapes and sizes. Aquablation therapy’s robust clinical foundation, which include the randomised WATER study (Aquablation therapy vs. TURP in 30-80 mL prostates) with five-year results, WATER II (Aquablation therapy in large prostates 80-150 mL) with five-year results, coupled with over 150 peer-reviewed publications. The growing body of clinical evidence, including multiple randomised clinical studies, demonstrate Aquablation therapy is a globally, reproducible procedure with the potential to become the BPH standard of care.

Safety: Low rates of irreversible complications across prostates of all shapes and sizes

The safety profile of Aquablation therapy is characterised by the incidence of irreversible complications, such as erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction, and incontinence.

In clinical studies, Aquablation therapy demonstrated low rates of irreversible complications across four major studies with varying patient profiles, prostate shapes and sizes, and surgeon experience.

Aquablation therapy delivers best-in-class safety results by enabling surgeons to:

  • Visualise and preserve key anatomical structures associated with sexual and urinary function, such as the bladder neck, verumontanum, and external sphincter
  • Customize the resection contour to each patient’s anatomy to optimise tissue resection and anatomical preservation

 

Efficacy: Best-in-class, durable results across prostates of all shapes and sizes

Efficacy following a BPH procedure is determined by symptom reduction and quality-of-life improvement.

  • The efficacy of Aquablation therapy is characterised by change in BPH symptom scores, urinary flow rates, and quality-of-life scores at each follow-up point.
  • The WATER data revealed that Aquablation therapy has a similar symptom reduction and quality-of-life improvement to TURP at all follow-up points
  • Analysis of a patient subgroup within the WATER study of patients with prostates above 50 mL revealed that Aquablation therapy was superior in symptom reduction as compared with TURP1

 

WATER II evaluated Aquablation therapy specifically in large prostates, showing best-in-class symptom reduction

The symptom reduction and quality-of-life improvement observed across the WATER, WATER II, OPEN WATER,JAPAN PMS and now the recently published WATERIII study demonstrate the size- and shape-independent efficacy of Aquablation therapy. The low retreatment rates from the four studies support the durability in efficacy results of the procedure. Efficacy data from all four studies characterized by metrics such as IPSS, IPSS quality of life, post-void residual volume, and peak flow rate over a 5-year follow-up.
