Take Back Control with Advanced BPH Treatment

Aquablation therapy is redefining how Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is treated—and Southside Urology & Nephrology is proud to be among the first to bring this breakthrough technology to our community.

If you’re living with the frustrating symptoms of BPH or enlarged prostate, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to settle for treatments that force difficult trade-offs.

Many traditional options come with compromises: medications that don’t work well, procedures with long recovery times, or treatments that can impact sexual function. For too long, men have had to choose between relief and quality of life.

Aquablation changes that.

This state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedure uses precision technology to deliver effective, lasting relief—while reducing recovery time and helping preserve what matters most.

At Southside Urology & Nephrology, our goal is simple: help you get back to living confidently, comfortably, and fully.

Less compromise. Better outcomes. A new standard in BPH care.

How does Aquablation therapy work?

Step 1. Surgical Planning

With the help of ultrasound imaging, doctors can create a detailed guide to plan the procedure. This guide outlines the specific areas of the prostate that need removal. The tissue within the marked area of the prostate may be removed, while the tissue outside of it may remain untouched.

Step 2. Removing the Prostate Tissue

Next, a robotic-assisted system follows the surgical plan and resects the targeted prostate tissue using a heat-free waterjet. This advanced technology helps ensure precise, consistent, and predictable removal of the tissue.

Step 3. Prostate After Treatment

After the procedure, urine flows normally from the bladder, passing through the treated prostate, and exits the body.
