AB  - Since its first report in the 1870s, control of bleeding after 
transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has remained 
a concern. Foley’s initial report of a urinary catheter involved 
placement of the balloon into the prostatic fossa following 
TURP. Removal of prostate tissue with a high-velocity saline stream (Aquablation) is a recently reported alternative 
to TURP. As Aquablation is heat-free, alternatives to non-thermal hemostasis were sought to optimize the procedure. 
We report use of a balloon catheter in the prostatic fossa after 
Aquablation as a post-resection hemostatic method.
