Understanding the Rezum Procedure

Watch the videos and find out how sterile water vapor acts precisely to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Why Is Rezum Innovative?

The FDA- and Anvisa-approved technology that is transforming prostate treatment.

Water Vapor

A sterile, controlled technology that precisely heats the hyperplastic tissue, causing programmed cell death and a reduction in prostate volume.

Maximum Precision

Quick Procedure

Performed in just 10–15 minutes under light sedation. No general anesthesia needed, with same-day discharge.

Outpatient

Sexual Preservation

Maintains erectile function and preserves ejaculation in 85% to 93% of cases, a rate far higher than traditional surgical methods.

Quality of Life

Express Recovery

Resume light activities and work within a few days. The post-operative period is more tolerable, with a low complication rate.

Quick Return

Lasting Effectiveness

Long-term studies show a retreatment rate of less than 5% at 5 years, ensuring sustained symptom relief.

Scientific Evidence

Fewer Medications

Reduces or eliminates dependence on daily prostate pills, avoiding their associated chronic side effects.

Independence

The Procedure Step by Step

Learn how the technique is applied in a minimally invasive way.

Step 1

Preparation and Anesthesia

You will receive spinal anesthesia or conscious sedation. The procedure is quick and painless, focused on your comfort.

Step 2

Mapping

Precise calculation of prostate volume by transrectal ultrasound to determine the ideal number of vapor treatments.

Step 3

Controlled Delivery

A special device is inserted through the urethra and 9-second pulses of vapor are delivered to strategic areas of the prostate.

Step 4

Completion

After about 15 minutes, the procedure is completed and a temporary Foley catheter is placed to support initial healing.

Step 5

Recovery and Discharge

You will remain under observation for a few hours and, once stable, you will be discharged the same day to recover in the comfort of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the main questions about Rezum treatment.

Yes! Rezum has been approved by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa) and is registered for clinical use in Brazil. The technology has also been approved by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) since 2015.
Yes! One of the greatest advantages of Rezum is the preservation of sexual function. Between 85% and 93% of patients maintain erectile function and ejaculation after the procedure, far higher than with traditional surgery (TURP).
A single session is usually enough. The procedure delivers multiple vapor injections to strategic areas during the procedure (10 to 15 min). Fewer than 5% of patients need retreatment over 5 years.
The Foley catheter stays in for 5 to 10 days on average to ensure the prostate heals properly and urine drains without straining the treated area. The return visit to the clinic for removal is very quick.
Results appear progressively: initial improvement at 4 weeks, significant progress at 6 weeks and maximum documented results between 12 and 14 weeks after the procedure.
