Prostate Aquablation Discharge Instructions

Aquablation is a procedure to remove some prostate tissue. The procedure is done through the tube in your penis (urethra). After the procedure, a thin plastic tube (catheter) is put in your urethra. This will help you pee.

If you go home with a catheter

You can go home from the hospital when you can pee on your own. If you can’t pee, you may go home with the catheter in place. If so, your doctor will tell you when and how to take it out.
