Summary: This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial that aims to assess the safety and efficacy of Aquablation Therapy in men with low-risk to intermediate to high-risk localized prostate cancer who are candidates for, or have opted for, prostatectomy. Participants will be randomized to either Aquablation Therapy or radical prostatectomy and followed up to 10 years.

Summary: Patients with longstanding obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) can also develop symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and Transurethral Waterjet Ablation of the Prostate (Aquablation) are amongst the gold standard surgical treatments for BPH. However, in the immediate post-operative period...

Summary: Lower urinary symptoms (LUTS) affect older men and their frequency and severity increase with age. According to Berry et al., the histological diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) increases from 25% in the group age between 40 to 49 years to 80% in the group age between 70 to 79 years (1). However, this hyperplasia can lead to a bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) secondary to benign prost...

Summary: Lower urinary symptoms (LUTS) affect many older men and their frequency and severity increase with age. In the age group between 65 and 79 years the rate of men with moderate and severe LUTS is 20 - 25% (Hunter et al. 1994). The complaints are potentially associated with a considerable impairment of the quality of life (Trueman et al. 1999). LUTS in older men are commonly caused by a bladder outle...

Summary: To document the clinical outcome of Aquablation therapy for BPH patient in Canadian cohort.

Summary: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases in men. As BPH progresses, surgical treatments often become necessary. Holmium enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is an established procedure in the surgical treatment of BPH, especially for medium to large prostates. The long learning curve, the length of surgery, and expensive equipment still limit the availability of HoLEP t...
