Water vapor ablation

Procedure description

The treatment of prostate hyperplasia has become more effective with the introduction of the Convective Water Vapor Energy (WAVE) technique — a minimally invasive water vapor ablation method.

WAVE is an endoscopic procedure performed through the urethra under video guidance. A urologist reduces the size of the adenoma using hot water vapor, thereby restoring essential urinary functions in the patient.

Since water vapor ablation is a gentle procedure, it is suitable for men of all ages.

Features of the procedure in global clinics

As a modern treatment method, leading medical centers worldwide use the Rezum technology for WAVE therapy, employing a specialized device.

One of the key advantages of Rezum ablation is that it does not affect erectile function. Additionally, the risk of retrograde ejaculation is only 1-2%, which is significantly lower than with alternative prostate treatments.
