We describe a patient who underwent waterjet ablation of the prostate after an unsuccessful prostatic urethral lift (PUL) procedure. After PUL, our patient had incomplete bladder emptying with a postvoid residual of 600 mL. Urodynamic study of the bladder suggested detrusor underactivity. Our patient was motivated to undergo a salvage bladder outlet surgery. At 3 months after Aquablation, he reported complete resolution of bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). This case report illustrates return of volitional voiding and significant improvement in LUTS after salvage bladder outlet treatment with waterjet ablation of the prostate.
