Aquablation therapy is transforming how we treat men with symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. As awareness of this advanced treatment grows, many patients researching their options begin asking an important question – who can perform Aquablation therapy?
Like many modern surgical techniques, outcomes depend not only on the technology itself, but also on the experience of the surgeon using it. Aquablation combines robotic technology, real-time imaging and precise surgical planning and it requires specialist expertise to deliver the best results.
Consultant Urologist Mr Jeremy Nettleton has been at the forefront of Aquablation therapy. Through clinical practice, teaching and collaboration with hospitals across multiple countries, he has played an important role in advancing how this innovative treatment is delivered.
A Leading Aquablation Specialist in the UK
Mr Jeremy Nettleton is recognised as a specialist in the treatment of prostate enlargement (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, BPH), with a particular focus on advanced surgical techniques such as Aquablation therapy.
His work centres on improving outcomes for men experiencing lower urinary tract symptoms, including frequent urination, night-time waking, weak urine flow and difficulty emptying the bladder.
By combining advanced diagnostics, personalised treatment planning and surgical technology, his goal is to provide patients with effective treatment while preserving quality of life.
Aquablation therapy represents a significant step forward in prostate enlargement treatment because it allows precise removal of obstructing prostate tissue, while protecting surrounding structures responsible for continence and sexual function.
International Expertise in Aquablation Therapy
Mr Nettleton’s expertise in Aquablation extends beyond clinical practice. He regularly collaborates with other specialists and hospitals to support the introduction of this technology in new centres.
This includes contributing to international training and clinical programmes designed to help hospitals safely implement Aquablation therapy for patients with prostate enlargement.
One example of this work includes the launch of Aquablation services at the Mater Hospital in Dublin, where Jeremy has supported the introduction of the procedure and shared expertise in delivering this advanced treatment pathway.
In addition he has recently been visited Profesor Ubrig from Germany, to see how Jeremy Nettleton completes Aquablation as a day case procedure.
This reflects the growing recognition of Aquablation as a preferred treatment option for men with moderate to severe prostate symptoms.
Sharing Expertise: Speaking at Leading Urology Meetings
In addition to his clinical work, Mr Jeremy Nettleton contributes to professional meetings and specialist forums where new developments in urology are discussed.
Recently he spoke at the Bladder Outflow Obstruction Meeting in Birmingham, where specialists from across the UK gather to discuss advances in diagnosing and treating prostate-related urinary symptoms.
His involvement in these discussions reflects his commitment to advancing prostate care and ensuring patients benefit from the latest developments in the field.
Why Aquablation Therapy is Changing Prostate Enlargement Treatment
Aquablation therapy is one of the most important developments in the surgical treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
Unlike traditional prostate surgery such as TURP or laser procedures, Aquablation combines robotic precision with ultrasound imaging to map the prostate before treatment begins. A high-pressure jet of sterile water is then used to remove only the tissue causing obstruction.
This approach allows treatment to be tailored to each patient’s anatomy and can reduce the risk of damage to surrounding structures.
For many men, the result is improved sleep, greater confidence in daily activities, and relief from symptoms that may have been affecting quality of life for years.
When to Seek Specialist Advice
Many men live with urinary symptoms for years before seeking help, often assuming they are simply part of ageing.
If you are waking several times each night to pass urine, planning your day around access to toilets, or experiencing difficulty emptying your bladder, specialist assessment can help identify the cause and explore treatment options.
Modern prostate treatments such as Aquablation therapy now offer effective solutions that can significantly improve quality of life.
Consultant-led assessment ensures that each patient receives personalised advice about the most appropriate treatment options, whether that involves Aquablation therapy or another approach.
