Rezum water vapour therapy: promising early outcomes from the first UK series

The management of symptomatic BPH is evolving and there is now an expanding portfolio of minimally invasive surgical therapies (MIST). These provide an attractive option for men looking for meaningful improvement in urinary symptoms whilst avoiding the risks of adverse effects, particularly with regards to maintaining sexual function.
