Aquablation

Description

Aquablation is a next‑generation, robot‑assisted therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that removes excess prostate tissue with a controlled, high‑velocity saline waterjet instead of heat. Guided in real time by both ultrasound and a tiny camera, the system allows the surgeon to map your prostate and precisely target only the tissue causing blockage, helping preserve urinary control and sexual function. It is suitable for a wide range of prostate sizes, including very large glands that may be challenging for other techniques. Leading clinics in South Korea have been early adopters of Aquablation, pairing state‑of‑the‑art robotics with experienced urologists, international accreditations, and multilingual patient coordinators to streamline care for travelers. On procedure day, you’ll receive spinal or general anesthesia; the surgeon accesses the prostate through the urethra (no external incisions), creates a personalized treatment plan from live imaging, and the robotic system performs the ablation, typically in a few minutes, with total operating time around 30–60 minutes. Most patients stay one night for monitoring and continuous bladder irrigation, with a soft catheter usually in place for 1–3 days. You can expect light blood in the urine, mild urgency, or frequency for a short period; many patients notice symptom relief within days, with continued improvement over several weeks. As with any procedure, risks can include bleeding, infection, or temporary urinary retention, but serious complications are uncommon and transfusion rates are low. South Korean centers will arrange pre‑op testing, airport transfers, and translation, and can typically clear you for return travel within 5–7 days, with telehealth follow‑up coordinated after you arrive home.
