Medical City Weatherford first in Parker County with advanced robotic-assisted prostate procedure

Medical City Weatherford is now the first and only hospital in Parker County to offer robotic-assisted water ablation therapy for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate. This minimally invasive procedure uses a robotic-guided water jet to remove excess prostate tissue, improving urinary function while reducing risks associated with traditional surgical methods.

Unlike conventional procedures that rely on heat or manual tissue removal, this robotic-assisted approach provides greater precision, shorter operative times, and faster recovery, allowing patients to return to daily activities sooner.

“Bringing this advanced technology to Parker County means our patients have access to leading-edge care close to home,” says Allen Marsh, CEO at Medical City Weatherford. “We are committed to offering innovative solutions that improve outcomes, enhance recovery, and provide a better quality of life for our patients.”

This advanced treatment option offers multiple benefits, including:

• Minimally invasive approach that reduces surgical risks
• Preserves function with low risk of incontinence and maintained sexual function
• Faster recovery with shorter procedure time and hospital stay
• Effective for larger prostates, offering an option for patients who may not have been candidates for other procedures

BPH is a common condition affecting men, particularly those over 50, causing urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency and weak or interrupted flow. With this advanced treatment option, patients at Medical City Weatherford now have access to a leading-edge option in a personalized, community-focused setting.
