Aquablation is a minimally-invasive procedure that treats lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges and leads to various urinary symptoms.

“BPH is one of the most common issues to affect men as we get older,” said Dr. J. Nathaniel Hamilton, chief of urology, ECU Health. “Patients and their spouses are pleased that Aquablation helps address this common prostate issue without needing to make difficult sacrifices in their relationships.”

ECU Health Medical Center was one of 32 institutions across the nation to participate in the national ROADS (Randomized Controlled Trial of Resection Surgery and GammaTile® versus Standard of Care) clinical trial, a randomized study investigating how GammaTile® therapy compares to the traditional standard of care for patients in treatment for newly diagnosed, operable metastatic brain tumors.

“The results of the ROADS clinical trial are very encouraging,” said Dr. Stuart Lee, chief, division of neurosurgery, ECU Health, and medical director of The Gamma Knife Center, ECU Health Medical Center. “Patients who underwent surgery with GammaTile® saw dramatically lower rates of tumor bed recurrence and significantly improved overall survival compared to patients who had surgery followed by radiosurgery four weeks after their operation. We are proud to participate in this important clinical study which affirms ECU Health’s commitment to providing the highest level of care close to home.”
