What is Urology?

Urology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the health of men’s and women’s urinary and reproductive tracts. These conditions are seen by urologists and other specialists as part of a collaborative health care package.

Newest minimally invasive treatment for enlarged prostate: Aquablation at RMC

At RMC, we’re excited to announce we are the first facility in the state of Alabama to provide Aquablation with the HYDROS™ Robotic System: A Cutting-Edge AI- Powered Platform for Aquablation. Dr. Phillis and Dr. Billings, our experienced Surgical Urologists, have already begun procedures and are seeing positive patient results.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, is a common condition in men, especially as they age. It’s the #1 reason men visit the urologist nationwide, with over 40 million men affected by BPH in the US. It can cause frustrating and sometimes debilitating urinary symptoms like:

Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
Weak urine stream
Difficulty starting urination
Sudden urge to urinate
Incomplete bladder emptying
**Overflow incontinence (leakage)

While there are various treatment options for BPH, including medication and minimally invasive procedures, Aquablation is emerging as a groundbreaking solution.

What is Aquablation?

Aquablation is a minimally invasive, robot-assisted procedure that precisely removes excess prostate tissue using a high-pressure water jet. With high precision, minimal side effects and quick recovery, this treatment may be right for you. Schedule a consult with one of our urologist today.
