Blessing Hospital Rolls Out Robotic Aquablation for Enlarged Prostate

Blessing Hospital in Quincy is offering Aquablation therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). Urologists Dr. Bradley Holland and Dr. David Lieber describe the HYDROS robotic system as a heat‑free waterjet that uses AI‑assisted planning and real‑time imaging to remove only obstructive prostate tissue, aiming for fewer side effects and the option for same‑day discharge while preserving continence and sexual function. The procedure addresses common BPH symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency and weak urine flow, which can lead to more serious health issues if untreated.
