| Popis: | Highlights • Rezum is a novel approach to treating BPH symptoms in patients with prostates Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the leading cause of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in men worldwide. Urinary frequency, nocturia and incomplete emptying are common symptoms experienced by men with BPH, which significantly reduce their quality of life. Treatment for this dysfunction includes surgical and non-surgical modalities such as watchful waiting, lifestyle modification and medication. Historically, Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) had been considered the gold standard mainstay of treatment; however, in recent years, minimally invasive techniques which offer similar outcomes, fewer complications and cost-effectiveness have gained popularity. Rezum, is a relatively new minimally invasive modality used to treat BPH which has been recommended for prostate volumes of ≤80 cc. Herein, we present a successful case of managing BPH in a middle-aged patient with a prostate volume of 186 cc. |
