Prostate Cancer PD: Rezūm steam therapy for the treatment of multi-disease patients with urinary retention and catheter dependence

Steam heat therapy (Rezūm) is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPE)
.

Recently, researchers from Australia published an article in "Prostate Cancer PD", investigating the safety and effectiveness of this method in the treatment of patients with recurrent urinary retention and catheter dependence, who are not suitable for surgery..

The safety and effectiveness of this method in the treatment of patients with recurrent urinary retention and catheter dependence are investigated .
These patients are not suitable for surgery .
This method is investigated for the treatment of recurrent urinary retention and catheter dependence.
The safety and effectiveness of patients who are not suitable for surgery

Researchers evaluated 136 patients with recurrent urinary retention who received steam therapy in three urology departments between November 2017 and February 2021, and underwent periprostatic block and selection during non-hospitalization.

The goal of treatment is to successfully pull out the catheter and not rely on the catheter at 3 and 12 months after treatment

The average age of the patients was 80.
3 years (±7.
8), the average prostate volume was 54 ml (±27.
3), and the average catheter-dependent time before treatment was 4.

According to the American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) standard classification, they are Class II: 10%, Class III: 71%, and Class IV: 19%

In summary, water vapor therapy is a useful, minimally invasive treatment method, suitable for urinary retention secondary to BPE, and catheter-dependent people with multiple diseases
.

However, further research and evaluation are still needed
