A male patient underwent an aquablation procedure.Per standard post-operative procedure, the patient was catheterized with a foley balloon catheter and taken into the recovery room.Later the same day, the patient's catheter turned red and could not be cleared (per manufacturer's instructions for use, bleeding is a potential risk post-aquablation procedure); therefore, was readmitted as an emergency to the operating room (or).A cystoscopy procedure confirmed remnant of the resected medial lobe; an irregular flag at the base of the bladder neck was found to be bleeding.The area was resected and cauterized followed by insertion of a new foley balloon catheter.The patient was discharged the following day without any further clinical sequela.No malfunction of the aquabeam robotic system was reported.
