HCA Florida Trinity Hospital announced they are the first in west central Florida to offer AI powered therapy to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) also known as enlarged prostate, which impacts the quality of life for millions of men. 

The standard treatment option today is surgery, but this has been shown to impact sexual function and continence. This new procedure that Trinity Hospital now provides was designed to offer a minimally invasive and effective solution for BPH, minimizing the need for men to choose between safety and efficacy. This 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 which prostate tissue to remove and which to preserve. With this tailored approach, the system accurately removes problematic tissue while safeguarding critical anatomy. 

The procedure is delivered by an AI-powered robotic system and is clinically proven to provide significant, durable BPH symptom relief while preserving sexual function and continence across prostates of all shapes and sizes. BPH is an unfortunate reality of aging for millions of men and impacts urinary function, making it difficult to urinate and fully empty the bladder. Common indicators that a man may be experiencing BPH are the need to urinate immediately or urgently, urinating more often than normal and urinating frequently at night. Without timely treatment, BPH can lead to severe health issues such as permanent bladder or kidney damage, bladder stones and incontinence. One in two men ages 51-60 have BPH. 

BPH is a widespread condition that severely compromises quality of life for countless men over age 50. With this therapy, men can reclaim their lifestyles and find relief from symptoms while preserving sexual function and continence -- outcomes that have proven elusive with many traditional treatment modalities.
