Good Samaritan Medical Center is First in Palm Beach County to Perform HYDROS™ Procedure for Enlarged Prostate

Good Samaritan Medical Center is the first hospital in South Florida, outside of Miami, to perform Aquablation® therapy with the new HYDROS™ Robotic System, the next-generation platform to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate.

Aquablation therapy was designed to offer a minimally invasive and effective solution for BPH that can be applied to almost all prostate gland sizes. Now delivered by an AI-powered robotic system, Aquablation therapy is clinically proven to provide significant, durable BPH symptom relief while preserving sexual function and continence.

Aquablation therapy is unique in its use of real-time, ultrasound-guided, robotic-assisted waterjet technology, allowing surgeons to create a personalized treatment plan that precisely targets prostate tissue to remove or preserve. With this tailored approach, the system accurately removes obstructing tissue, while protecting apical prostate tissue.

BPH is an unfortunate reality of aging for millions of men, which is commonly associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. Common urinary symptoms associated with BPH include frequent daytime urination, waking at night to urinate, straining to urinate, slow urinary stream, sensation of incomplete bladder emptying, and urgency to quickly use the restroom. Without timely treatment, BPH can lead to severe health issues such as permanent bladder or kidney damage, infections, bladder stones, and urinary incontinence.

The HYDROS Robotic System represents the next evolution in the delivery of Aquablation therapy. Leveraging insights from over 50,000 procedures, HYDROS features FirstAssist AI™ treatment planning, advanced image guidance, robotic resection, and a streamlined workflow. HYDROS is designed to improve efficiency, enhance surgeon and staff experience, and deliver a more accurate and consistent treatment plan for better clinical outcomes.
