Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai, Kottayam, is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate. It uses sterile water vapour delivered through the urethra in nine-second bursts to treat excess prostate tissue. The treated tissue is gradually cleared by the body, helping relieve urinary obstruction and improve urine flow without cutting, removing prostate tissue or requiring general anaesthesia.
Rezūm is a quick, minimally invasive treatment that uses sterile water vapor to shrink an enlarged prostate. With zero cutting and no tissue removed, you avoid the risks and lengthy recovery of traditional open surgery.
Water vapor is gently released in 9-second bursts. The body naturally absorbs the targeted cells, letting the prostate shrink smoothly from within.
No major spinal or general anaesthesia required. The entire procedure takes only a few minutes and is performed under gentle sedation.
Because vapor treatment stays strictly localized, normal ejaculation and sexual function are usually preserved, avoiding the permanent side effects of TURP.
Often suitable for patients taking blood thinners or those with cardiac/respiratory conditions who cannot undergo major surgery.
Done as a day-care procedure. You go home the very same day without needing days of inpatient hospital stay and continuous bladder irrigation.
The prostate temporarily swells before settling. Measurable symptom relief typically starts within 2 weeks, with complete relief by 3 months.
Brief sedation treatment, discharged home the same afternoon with a comfortable catheter.
The catheter is removed as the initial tissue swelling begins to subside.
Patients notice stronger urine flow and easier bladder emptying as tissue gets absorbed.
Maximum prostate volume reduction is reached with long-term symptom relief.
Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy is offered at only a select few healthcare centers in Kerala. At the Centre of Excellence in Urology, Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai, Rezūm sits alongside conventional TURP, ThuLEP (Thulium Laser Enucleation), and HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation).
