Improving men’s health.

Approximately 40 million men in the United States have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), otherwise known as an enlarged prostate. BPH is a non-cancerous condition where the prostate has grown to be larger than normal. If left untreated, BPH can cause significant health problems, including irreversible bladder or kidney damage, bladder stones and incontinence.

We recently introduced a new therapy — known as aquablation — to offer relief for patients suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. In fact, we are the first hospital in the San Gabriel Valley to offer this unique therapy.

Using the power of water and ultrasound imaging, aquablation is a safe and effective treatment. This advanced form of therapy, delivered with robotic precision, provides long-lasting symptom relief. “Aquablation therapy is the much-anticipated next step to furthering our commitment to robotic surgery and men’s health,” says Armen Dikranian, MD, medical director of robotic surgery.
