Important Safety Information

Risk and Safety Information
All surgical treatments have inherent and associated side effects, some of which may lead to serious outcomes and may require intervention. Individual’s outcomes may depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to patient characteristics, disease characteristics and/or surgeon behavior. The most common side effects are mild and transient and may include mild pain or difficulty when urinating, discomfort in the pelvis or penis, blood in the urine, inability to empty the bladder or a frequent and/or urgent need to urinate, and bladder or urinary tract infection. Other risks include but are not limited to: anesthesia risk; sexual dysfunction, including ejaculatory or erectile dysfunction; injury to the urethra, such as false passage or stricture, or to the rectum, including rectal incontinence/perforation; bladder or prostate capsule perforation; infection, including the potential transmission of blood borne pathogens; bleeding; incontinence; embolism; electric shock/burn; transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome; bladder neck contracture; and bruising. No claim is made that the AquaBeam Robotic System will cure any medical condition, or entirely eliminate the diseased entity. Repeated treatment or alternative therapies may sometimes be required.

For more information about potential side effects and risks associated with Aquablation therapy, speak with your urologist or surgeon.

Rx Only

Aquablation therapy is performed by urologists. Patients should talk to their doctor to determine if Aquablation therapy is right for them. Patients and doctors should review the potential benefits and limitations of treatment together.

We know that most BPH treatment options may provide symptom relief, but we also know they often force men to compromise symptom relief, preservation of sexual function, and continence in some way.
