TriStar Hendersonville offers minimally invasive, robotic treatment for enlarged prostate

Hendersonville, TN  – TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center is pleased to announce it is now offering Aquablation, a new, robotic therapy for the treatment of an enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The advanced, minimally invasive technique provides long-lasting symptom improvement without compromising sexual function.

“This innovative procedure is changing the way we treat enlarged prostates,” said Daniel Ramirez, MD, urologist at TriStar Hendersonville. “Unlike traditional surgical treatments, this therapy combines minimally invasive, robotic surgery with real-time ultrasound, allowing us to map a treatment plan and precisely target the area of concern, while sparing surrounding tissue.”

Statistics show one in two men over the age of 50 have BPH, and the incidence increases every decade of life. BPH symptoms include frequent or urgent need to urinate, increased nighttime urination, difficulty starting urination, weak urine stream or a stream that stops and starts, or an inability to empty the bladder completely. If left untreated, BPH can cause significant health problems, including irreversible bladder or kidney damage, bladder stones and incontinence.
