Abstract:
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are one of the most common morbidities in elderly men, especially in aging societies. Minimally invasive surgical treatments (MISTs) for BPH have gained an increasing interest in the current time. Rezum system is a novel MIST that uses water vapour-based convective thermal therapy to ablate prostatic tissue. According to our evaluation of the existing literature, Rezum offers a meaningful relief of LUTS with a high safety profile without compromising the sexual activity especially to those who are unfit for surgery or to those who do not desire to continue on lifelong pharmacotherapy.
