Elevating the Standard of Care
Baptist Medical Center East is the leading regional facility for Robotic Urologic Care. We are excited to present Aquablation™, the advanced HYDROS™ Robotic System for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), to patients and referring providers throughout Central Alabama.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) refers to an enlarged prostate. It is important to note that BPH is not prostate cancer. As the prostate enlarges, it can squeeze the urethra, leading to challenges in urination and/or putting pressure on the bladder, which may weaken it and make it hard to empty.
The HYDROS™ Robotic System signifies the next step in providing Aquablation therapy, merging state-of-the-art technology with easy-to-use features aimed at achieving outstanding results for both patients and healthcare professionals.
Aquablation therapy is the sole real-time, ultrasound-guided, robotic-assisted, heat-free waterjet method for BPH treatment, excelling in safety, accuracy, and quick recovery. This is the only BPH treatment that has been shown to provide significant, long-lasting symptom relief while maintaining sexual function and continence in prostates of all sizes and shapes.
Treatment Planning
FirstAssist AI™, developed from a collection of actual Aquablation therapy procedures, utilizes advanced image recognition technology to pinpoint essential anatomy on ultrasound and recommend the best treatment plan for each patient.
Advanced Image Guidance
The system combines state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging, digital cystoscopy, and dual high-definition touchscreens, offering improved visualization of the anatomy and the ability to view ultrasound and cystoscopy images simultaneously. The built-in digital cystoscope provides higher resolution video and a broader field of view.
Robotic Resection
The robotic-assisted heat-free waterjet carries out the surgeon-defined treatment plan to remove obstructive tissue while safeguarding critical anatomy. This allows for efficient and predictable waterjet resection, standardizing the surgical experience across various prostate shapes and sizes.
