Hospital offers robotic system
WESLEY CHAPEL – AdventHealth now offers Aquablation therapy with the new HYDROS Robotic System, a next-generation platform to treat men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia, commonly known as an enlarged prostate.
Aquablation therapy, now delivered by an AI-powered robotic system, is clinically proven to provide BPH symptom relief while preserving sexual function and continence across prostates of all shapes and sizes.
“AdventHealth Wesley Chapel remains at the forefront of cutting-edge technology, while providing whole-person care,” said Dr. Bob Rosequist, chief medical officer of AdventHealth Wesley Chapel.
Common indicators that a man may be experiencing BPH are the need to urinate immediately or urgently, urinating more often than normal and urinating frequently at night. Without timely treatment, BPH can lead to severe health issues such as permanent bladder or kidney damage, bladder stones and incontinence.
