Robotic prostate treatment promises faster care and reduced backlogs

Healthcare 21 is set to transform prostate treatment in Ireland by introducing Aquablation therapy, an innovative robotic procedure that uses high-speed water jets to treat enlarged prostates with precision. Already available at Ulster Hospital in Belfast, the Cork-based firm is in talks with private hospitals in the south to expand access. This minimally invasive treatment not only doubles surgical efficiency but also allows 90% of patients to go home the same day, easing pressure on elective beds and surgical backlogs. For c-suite leaders, this signals a strategic opportunity to boost throughput, optimise surgical resources, and position hospitals at the forefront of urological innovation.
