What is Prostate Aquablation? | Off the Cuff With Mark Moyad, MD, MPH & Steven Gange, MD

PCRI's resident moderator Mark Moyad, MD, MPH, and urologist Steven Gange, MD, FACS, discuss aquablation, a surgical procedure that uses a robotic system and a heatless water jet to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Dr. Steven Gange graduated from the UCLA School of Medicine in 1986. After his Urology residency training at the University of Kentucky in 1991, he entered the US Army as an academic urologist, teaching, and training residents. He joined Western Urological Clinic (now Summit Urology Group) in Salt Lake City, UT, in 1996. With over 25 years of clinical and research experience, he has developed an expertise in Men’s Health Urology, emphasizing minimally invasive procedures. He continues to be active as a Clinical Researcher and as such was the first Urologist in North America to perform the NeoTract UroLift for BPH, and the first in the world to perform UroLift under local anesthesia. 0:14 Aquablation is a treatment for BPH that uses a robotically-guided water pick to ablate (or destroy) parts of the prostate. It requires general anesthesia, takes place in an operating room, lasts about 5 minutes, and requires a temporary catheter after the procedure. In principle, it is similar to the TURP procedure. 1:14 In addition to the previously mentioned issues (anesthesia, catheter) Aquablation requires equipment that makes it expensive compared to the TURP. 1:30 Aquablation is an FDA-cleared procedure. 1:48 There may be some issues performing aquablation on men who have undergone radiation. There is not much existing finished research on surgical solutions for BPH in men who have undergone previous radiation, but there will be in the future. Don’t know your stage?
