Aquablation Evidence
The WATER trial (European Urology 2019) is the only randomised controlled trial comparing Aquablation directly against TURP — the gold-standard BPH procedure. The trial enrolled 184 men across 17 sites in Australia, Canada, UK, and USA.
The headline finding: Aquablation preserved ejaculation in 90% of patients vs. 36% for TURP (p<0.001). Symptom relief was equivalent (non-inferior) — same IPSS improvement, same maximum flow rate improvement. Safety was better for Aquablation (fewer Grade ≥2 adverse events: 26% vs. 42%, p=0.03).
This means: Aquablation achieves the same BPH symptom relief as TURP while preserving ejaculation in 2.5× more patients. For sexually active men, this is the clinically significant difference.
| Outcome | Aquablation | TURP | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPSS reduction | -15.0 | -14.0 | Non-inferior |
| Qmax improvement (ml/s) | +10.1 | +9.6 | Non-inferior |
| Ejaculation preserved | 90% | 36% | p<0.001 |
| Adverse events ≥Grade 2 | 26% | 42% | p=0.03 |
| Catheter duration | ~1 day | ~5 days | Aquablation faster |
