WATER III: Aquablation vs HoLEP – Which BPH Surgery Performs Better?
The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) continues to evolve, and the WATER III clinical trial is one of the most anticipated studies comparing two advanced surgical approaches for men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

In this episode of UroNurse News, host Vic Senese, RN, BSN, FAUNA, reviews the design and goals of the WATER III prospective, partially randomized clinical trial, which compares Aquablation Therapy with transurethral laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). Both procedures are increasingly used to treat enlarged prostates, but how do they compare in symptom relief, durability, safety, operative efficiency, recovery, and preservation of sexual function?

We'll discuss:

What the WATER III trial is designed to measure
How Aquablation Therapy works using robotic, image-guided waterjet technology
How HoLEP removes obstructing prostate tissue with laser enucleation
Which patients may benefit from each procedure
Expected improvements in urinary symptoms and quality of life
Potential advantages and limitations of each surgical technique
Why high-quality comparative clinical trials are important for evidence-based BPH care
What the findings could mean for urologists, nurses, advanced practice providers, and patients
Whether you're a urology nurse, physician, advanced practice provider, medical student, or healthcare professional interested in the latest BPH research, this episode provides an easy-to-understand overview of one of the newest head-to-head studies in minimally invasive surgical management of enlarged prostate disease.
