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 PrecisionQuick Procedure
Performed in just 10–15 minutes under light sedation. No general anesthesia needed, with same-day discharge.
OutpatientSexual Preservation
Maintains erectile function and preserves ejaculation in 85% to 93% of cases, a rate far higher than traditional surgical methods.
Quality of LifeExpress Recovery
Resume light activities and work within a few days. The post-operative period is more tolerable, with a low complication rate.
Quick ReturnLasting Effectiveness
Long-term studies show a retreatment rate of less than 5% at 5 years, ensuring sustained symptom relief.
Scientific EvidenceFewer Medications
Reduces or eliminates dependence on daily prostate pills, avoiding their associated chronic side effects.
IndependenceThe Procedure Step by Step
Learn how the technique is applied in a minimally invasive way.
Preparation and Anesthesia
You will receive spinal anesthesia or conscious sedation. The procedure is quick and painless, focused on your comfort.
Mapping
Precise calculation of prostate volume by transrectal ultrasound to determine the ideal number of vapor treatments.
Controlled Delivery
A special device is inserted through the urethra and 9-second pulses of vapor are delivered to strategic areas of the prostate.
Completion
After about 15 minutes, the procedure is completed and a temporary Foley catheter is placed to support initial healing.
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.
