Management of benign prostatic hyperplasia focuses on relief of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs), improvement of quality of life, and prevention of symptom progression. Minimally invasive surgical treatments (MISTs) offer potential for rapid symptomatic relief, medication independence, and less perioperative risk. The Rezūm system is a novel MIST that uses water vapor thermal therapy to ablate obstructive prostate tissue. In this review, we summarize the data revealing that water vapor thermal therapy provides clinically meaningful, rapid, and durable relief of LUTSs in both storage and voiding functions while providing a minimal impact on sexual function.
The expanding body of literature examining Rezūm water vapor thermal therapy suggests that it is a safe, efficacious, and durable treatment modality for lower urinary tract symptoms that can be offered to a wide selection of patients.
良性前列腺增生症的治疗重点在于缓解下尿路症状（LUTS），改善生活质量，防止症状进展。微创外科治疗（MIST）具有快速缓解症状、药物独立性和围手术期风险低的潜力。Rezūm 系统是一种新型的 MIST，它利用水蒸气热疗来消融阻塞性前列腺组织。在这篇综述中，我们总结了数据，表明水蒸气热疗在储存和排空功能方面提供了有临床意义的、快速的和持久的 LUTS 缓解，同时对性功能的影响最小。
越来越多的文献研究 Rezūm 水蒸气热疗表明，它是一种安全、有效、持久的治疗下尿路症状的方法，可以为广泛的患者提供。
