Aquablation® Therapy
Advanced, Minimally Invasive Treatment for Enlarged Prostate (BPH) at UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial
Breakthrough Treatment for Enlarged Prostate Is Here
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, is a common condition that affects men over the age of 50 and can impact quality of life. At UChicago Medicine our urologists provide the most advanced, innovative, and comprehensive treatment options — including Aquablation® therapy — to help you find relief safely and effectively.What is Aquablation® Therapy?
UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial is one of the first in the area to offer Aquablation® therapy — a minimally invasive surgical treatment that uses the power of water, delivered with robotic precision, to remove prostate tissue and provide lasting relief from BPH symptoms. It’s precise, consistent, and effective — regardless of prostate size.
Benefits of Aquablation® Therapy
Traditional BPH treatments often mean compromise — not responding well to medications, limited relief, sexual side effects, or long recovery times. Aquablation® offers all of the following:
- Minimally invasive approach with no external incisions
- Long-lasting symptom relief
- Reduced risk of certain side effects compared to some traditional procedures
- Shorter recovery time
Is Aquablation® Right for You?
You may benefit from evaluation if you are experiencing:
- Frequent or urgent need to urinate
- Weak urine stream
- Difficulty starting urination
- Waking up multiple times at night to urinate
A comprehensive consultation with a UChicago Medicine urology specialist will help determine the most appropriate treatment for your needs.
