Study Arms (1)
MRI-TRUS fusion water vapour ablation
EXPERIMENTALThe intervenitons will consist of MRI segmentation and image-informed injection planning, with documentation of planned and delivered injection sites and performance metrics.
Interventions
This study involves MRI-TRUS fusion-guided planning and delivery of Rezūm water vapor thermal therapy for men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). All participants will receive the investigational workflow during their Rezūm procedure. This is a single-arm study with no concurrent control group.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age 30-80 years old with symptomatic BPH.
- Prostate volume 30-80 mL (TRUS/MRI/US)
- Suitable for Rezum.
- Able to consent and comply with follow-up to 1 month.
- With prior prostate MRI within 2 years
You may not qualify if:
- Known/suspected prostate cancer requiring oncologic management.
- Prior prostate surgery impacting urethral anatomy within 12 months.
- Prior implant affecting urethral anatomy.
- Active UTI or untreated bacteriuria pre-op.
- Uncorrectable coagulopathy; inability to manage antithrombotics.
- Severe medical comorbidity precluding endoscopy.
