Abstract:
Water vapor thermal therapy (WVTT) is a new modality. There are just a few short periods of outcome surveillance following Rezum, with a maximum term of five years. The majority of side effects are irritative lower urinary tract symptoms caused by endoscopic manipulation and typically last a short time. Herein, we present a novel case of a 71-year-old male patient with a Rezum-induced prostatic urethral cystic lesion. Five months following Rezum, an ultrasound was performed to evaluate persistent lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) revealed the lesion. The patient preferred conservative management rather than cystoscopy and ablation of prostatic urethral cyst.
