Ablation of benign prostatic hyperplasia tissue, transurethral, waterjet ablation, including robotic guidance, ultrasound guidance, and monitoring

AI EXPLANATION: Aquablation therapy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). During the procedure, a surgeon uses robotic guidance alongside real-time ultrasound imaging to map the prostate and direct a heat-free, high-pressure waterjet that gently removes excess tissue blocking the flow of urine.
