UNC Health Lenoir Introduces Aquablation Therapy for Advanced Treatment of Enlarged Prostate
Hello, World!
UNC Health Lenoir is proud to announce the addition of Aquablation® therapy to its urology service line, offering patients a leading-edge, minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as enlarged prostate. This innovative therapy combines real-time imaging with the precision of a robotic, heat-free waterjet to remove prostate tissue and relieve urinary symptoms with greater accuracy and preservation of function.
Aquablation therapy allows physicians to tailor treatment to each patient’s anatomy. The result is a procedure that delivers highly consistent outcomes, reduces the risk of complications, and supports a faster recovery.
“Our goal is always to bring our community the most advanced and effective treatment options available,” said Dr. Lee Cox, urologist at UNC Urology at Lenoir. “Aquablation therapy represents a significant breakthrough for men who have struggled with the symptoms of BPH or who have not found success with medications or other procedures. We are proud to offer a solution that is both precise and designed to protect quality of life.’
BPH affects more than 40 million men in the United States and can significantly impact daily life, causing symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urinary flow, sleep disruption, and difficulty emptying the bladder. With the addition of this technology, UNC Health Lenoir continues its commitment to expanding access to advanced specialty care close to home. Aquablation therapy is now available, and patients may be referred for evaluation by their primary care physician or by contacting UNC Urology at Lenoir directly at 252-527-3043.
