Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy at Samaritan Hospital

Prostate issues, particularly benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), are common among men as they age. BPH, a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like urinary urgency, frequent urination, and interrupted sleep. Traditionally, treatment options ranged from medication to invasive surgery. However, Samaritan Hospital is proud to introduce a breakthrough solution that redefines the approach to BPH treatment: Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy

What is Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy

Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy is an innovative, non-surgical treatment that uses water vapor to reduce excess prostate tissue, alleviating the symptoms of BPH. The therapy works by harnessing the natural energy stored in water vapor to target and shrink the enlarged prostate tissue without incisions or implants.

The procedure involves a small, sterile device that delivers water vapor directly into the prostate. Each treatment cycle takes just nine seconds, during which the steam, absorbed by the prostate tissue, releases energy as it condenses back into water. This energy destroys the cells causing the prostate’s enlargement. Over time, the body clears away these cells, reducing the prostate size, improving urinary flow, and decreasing symptoms.

Advantages of Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy

1. Minimally Invasive and Non-Surgical: Rezūm™ is a non-surgical procedure that does not require general anesthesia, making it a day-care option. Patients can return home the same day and often resume their usual activities shortly after. The therapy offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery, which typically involves longer recovery times and higher risks of side effects.

2. Rapid and Effective Relief: Patients can experience symptom relief as soon as two weeks after the treatment, with the full benefits often realized within three months. This rapid improvement can significantly enhance quality of life, reducing symptoms like frequent urination and difficulty in emptying the bladder.

3. Long-Lasting Results: Studies have shown that Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy provides long-lasting relief from BPH symptoms, with many patients experiencing sustained results for several years after treatment. The technology addresses the root cause by shrinking the prostate, reducing the likelihood of recurrence.

4. Reduced Risk of Side Effects: Compared to traditional surgical options, Rezūm™ has a lower risk of side effects, such as incontinence and sexual dysfunction. By targeting specific tissue in a controlled manner, it minimizes the impact on surrounding areas, making it a safer choice for many patients.

5. Quick Treatment Time: Each treatment cycle with Rezūm™ takes only about nine seconds, allowing for a swift procedure that can be completed in a single session. This efficiency means less time in a medical setting and a faster return to daily routines.
