ABSTRACT = {Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) represents one of 
the most common conditions encountered in urological 
practice. For many years, transurethral resection of the 
prostate (TURP) has been considered the gold standard 
for surgical management of symptoms in prostates of 
30 cc-80 cc. Although TURP provides excellent functional 
outcomes, there is significant morbidity associated with 
the procedure, particularly with regards to bleeding, 
electrolyte imbalance and sexual dysfunction. Emerging 
technologies aim to maintain the excellent functional 
results of TURP whilst decreasing the adverse events 
experienced by the patient.<br/>
Aquablation is a novel therapy using a high-velocity 
waterjet and real-time ultrasound imaging with robotic 
assistance for targeted removal of prostate tissue. We 
present our experiences with this new technique, the 
equipment required and steps involved.},
