LEFKOS STAVROS – The Athens Clinic brings Robotic Aquablation Therapy to Greece for the first time for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

The pioneering method using the AQUABEAM robotic system preserves all natural functions of the patient, offering immediate recovery and long-lasting results.

LEFKOS STAVROS – The Athens Clinic reaffirms its commitment to innovation and the provision of top-tier medical services by being the first in Greece to introduce the new AQUABEAM Robotic System for performing the globally recognized Aquablation Therapy for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).

Aquablation is the new standard of care in Urology and is already being successfully applied in the USA, the UK, Italy, Spain, and other European countries. It offers patients an effective and personalized treatment with immediate recovery, while preserving their natural functions: urinary continence, erectile function, and ejaculation.

This is a groundbreaking new robotic method that can be applied to prostates of any shape or size, using the power of water. It targets men with BPH who are seeking immediate and long-term relief from the condition’s bothersome symptoms, without compromises, allowing them to maintain a normal lifestyle.

Aquablation Therapy is being applied for the first time in Greece by the specially trained and experienced medical team at the state-of-the-art Urology Center of LEFKOS STAVROS – The Athens Clinic, achieving excellent surgical outcomes. This places the clinic at the forefront of medical innovation and confirms its high expertise in advanced Robotic Surgery.

Professor of Urology and scientific director of the 1st Urology Clinic at LEFKOS STAVROS – The Athens Clinic, Mr. Evangelos Liatsikos, states:
“The recent addition of Greece’s first AQUABEAM Robotic System at our Urology Center sets a new benchmark for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. With Aquablation therapy, we can offer patients a safer, more precise, and faster solution with excellent outcomes and minimal complications. The procedure lasts less than 50 minutes, and patients can return to their daily lives immediately, without sacrificing the body’s natural functions.”

The acquisition of the new AQUABEAM Robotic System significantly enhances the advanced Robotic Surgery Center at LEFKOS STAVROS – The Athens Clinic, reaffirming its commitment to continuous investment in cutting-edge technologies and high-value medical services.


What is Robotic Aquablation Therapy?

Aquablation is a minimally invasive method that uses a heat-free water jet for precise tissue removal. The procedure is carried out by a urological team specialized in robotic techniques, guided with high precision by the AQUABEAM robotic system, in combination with endoscopic and ultrasound imaging.

This unique method allows the surgeon to preoperatively customize the treatment plan based on each patient’s specific anatomy and then remove the problematic tissue with robotic precision, while preserving important tissue necessary for maintaining normal functions.


Effectiveness of Aquablation Therapy

International clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Aquablation Therapy. According to these studies:

  • It preserves continence in over 99% of cases
  • Maintains erectile function in 100% of cases
  • Preserves ejaculation in 89% of cases
  • Prevents the need for repeat surgery within five years in 94% of cases
