NHWH pioneers an advancement in Men’s Health with the latest robotic equipment to treat BPH that offers a significant advantage over other treatments.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is having a prostate that has grown to be larger than normal. With it being the number one reason men visit the urologist, BPH is a significant men’s health disease with cases near doubling since 2000.

Nuffield Health Wolverhampton have now received the exciting delivery of Aquablation Therapy equipment which is the first and only image-guided, robotic-assisted, heat-free waterjet for the treatment of BPH from Procept BioRobotics.

Pictured is Consultant Urologist Mr Peter Cooke, Midlands Urology and Abdul Chowdhury from PROCEPT BioRobotics, Bobby Badesha who delivered an Aquablation training session to Nuffield Health Wolverhampton’s theatre teams.

The advanced treatment developed by Procept BioRobotics, is a minimally invasive technique that uses water jet technology to precisely remove excess tissue whilst preserving surrounding structures.

Aquablation, suitable for all sizes and shapes of prostates offers a significant advantage over traditional surgical methods by maintaining erectile and ejaculatory function, allowing men to choose a treatment that does not comprise their quality of life and mental health.

Nuffield Health Wolverhampton Hospital are incredibly proud to be the only provider in the area across the NHS and private sector currently able to offer this procedure and we look forward to providing men with another choice of treatment for BPH which enhances their lifestyle, post surgery.
