Prostate can be painful and lower your quality of life. an operation can ease the symptoms, but with hospital waiting lists at a record high, there's hope that new technology will make treatment quicker and easier. alastair fee reports. very nice to see you. in recent weeks, tim has had serious problems with his prostate gland. at night, i get up an awful lot, so by the morning, i would be worn out because i haven't had a good night's sleep. he is the first patient at basingstoke hospital to receive a new type of operation. it's quite an advanced technology. there is blasting water to get rid ...

That means more patients will be seen and less waiting. it went very well. i may in future decide to take on bigger prostates and the potential to remove even more prostate tissue. but it's trying to balance the recovery with the longer term and the durability of the procedure. there is no doubt this technology does remove, or can remove a lot of tissue very quickly. ultimately it's the clinical outcome that will be the key driver of this. how well that the patients do, and how quickly do they recover. clearly one area that the nhs loves to have is patients that are treated within the same day...

Six months or longer. we try and give them the priority that we feel they deserve, but we're competing with all the other health conditions. but if we can bring in new technologies that more efficient, they take a shorter time in the operating room, this will improve efficiencies and help reduce the waiting list burden which is what we really need to be working on. the new procedure uses robot technology alongside an experienced surgeon. it's called aquablation. i know my way around the prostate gland, so i can watch what it's doing and i can alter the treatment as it progresses and modify it....

This will improve efficiencies and help reduce the waiting list burden which is what we really need to be working on. the new procedure uses robot technology alongside an experienced surgeon. it's called aquablation. i know my way around the prostate gland, so i can watch what it's doing and i can alter the treatment as it progresses and modify it. but it's the rapidity that it can do it, it's quicker than i would be able to do the procedure using other technologies. the machine uses water at very high pressure to remove prostate tissue. it's quicker than traditional surgery, more efficient an...
