While transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has served as the cornerstone treatment for many years, there now exist a multitude of minimally invasive alternatives including the Rezum system. The latter is a novel form of transurethral water vapour therapy, which is attracting increasing attention. It utilizes convective water vapour energy (WAVE) and thereby radiofrequency (RF) in order to generate heat energy. Early studies have demonstrated promising results. To date there have been 12 studies published on Rezum, however only one randomized trial. This review offers an overview and evaluation of this emerging evidence.Keywords: Rezum, BPH, prostate, benign prostatic hyperplasia, minimally invasive surgery |
