Real-world Early Outcomes and Retreatment Rates Following Water Vapour Ablative Therapy for Symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Abstract

We investigated outcomes for patients undergoing Rezūm, a water vapour treatment to reduce the size of the prostate in men with obstruction of the bladder outlet because of benign prostate enlargement. This technique yields significant improvements in symptoms and preserves sexual function. The proportion of men needing retreatment was 2.4% in the first year after their Rezūm procedure.
