Water vapor therapy using Rezūm has been recently introduced as a minimally invasive surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia and is being increasingly performed. However, there is a lack of real-time images showing this practice and how convective water vapor acts in the prostate gland. In real-time ultrasonography, convective water vapor rapidly spreads throughout the ipsilateral transitional zone and is mostly limited within the transitional zone. For educational purposes, we would like to present a case to help readers understand water vapor therapy by visualizing convective water vapor using real-time ultrasound.
使用Rezūm的水蒸气疗法最近已被引入作为治疗良性前列腺增生的微创手术,并且实施得越来越多。然而,缺乏显示这种操作以及对流水蒸气在前列腺中如何起作用的实时图像。在实时超声检查中,对流水蒸气迅速扩散到同侧移行带的整个区域,并且大多局限于移行带内。出于教学目的,我们想展示一个病例,通过使用实时超声可视化对流水蒸气,帮助读者了解水蒸气疗法。
