NICE approve Aquablation as a standard procedure across the NHS to treat BPH

We are delighted that NICE has now published it's guidance made on evidence based recommendations that Aquablation should be offered on the NHS as a standard procedure for BPH. The minimally invasive procedure has proven efficacy in the reduction of lower urinary tract symptoms and preservation of sexual function, including ejaculatory function. For many men, this is a key decision maker factor and enables men to make a rapid recovery and return to normal activity.

After some 10 years of involvement in the development of Aquablation of the prostate using the Aquabeam with Procept Biorobotics and 8 years since treating the first patients in the UK and now many hundreds of patients treated, Neil Barber welcomes the news of formal approval for this novel, image guided, heat free surgical treatment for men suffering with prostate related waterworks symptoms
