HYDROS™ Robotic System Offers Men a More Precise and Less Invasive Way to Treat Enlarged Prostates

 

If you’re one of the millions of men dealing with the frustrating symptoms of an enlarged prostate, you know how much it can disrupt your daily life. And while surgery has traditionally been the go-to solution, many men hesitate because of the risks to sexual function and bladder control.

As the first healthcare provider in Southern New Jersey to introduce Aquablation® therapy using the HYDROS™ Robotic System, AtlantiCare is bringing a more precise, AI-powered, minimally invasive solution to men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—without the trade-offs of traditional surgery.

While Aquablation therapy offers significant benefits, not every patient is an ideal candidate. An AtlantiCare Urology provider will assess each individual case and discuss the best treatment options available to meet a patient’s needs.

BPH is one of those conditions that’s rarely talked about but affects nearly half of men over 50 and 90% of men over 80. If left untreated, BPH can lead to bladder damage, kidney problems, and even incontinence.

"We know that talking about urological health can be uncomfortable for many men, but ignoring these issues can lead to a lower quality of life," says Abraham Spence, MD, of AtlantiCare Urology. "Our goal is to educate and take the fear out of the process by providing a revolutionary treatment that’s safe, effective, and delivered with compassion. Aquablation therapy is giving men their lives back—and we’re thrilled to bring this innovative option to South Jersey."

Now, with Aquablation therapy, there’s an alternative that removes the excess prostate tissue causing the problem. A robotic-assisted, high-pressure waterjet, controlled by skilled surgeons, removes only the necessary prostate tissue under real-time ultrasound guidance. This means the procedure is highly accurate, customized for each patient’s anatomy, and protects the surrounding structures responsible for bladder control and sexual function.

If BPH symptoms are interfering with your daily life, various treatment options can help you not only maintain but also enhance your quality of life. To learn more, visit us online at AtlantiCare Urology or schedule a consultation by calling one of our Health Navigator’s at 1-888-569-1000.
