✨ SUCCESSFUL REZUM THERAPY FOR A 96-YEAR-OLD MAN WITH BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA IN DA NANG
Recently, doctors at FAMILY HOSPITAL successfully treated benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using Rezum Water V***r therapy for Mr. T. (96 years old), considered one of the oldest patients in Vietnam to undergo this procedure to date.
✍️ The patient was admitted with recurrent urinary retention, which significantly affected his daily activities and overall health. Given his advanced age, traditional surgical approaches also posed considerable cardiovascular, respiratory, and postoperative recovery risks.
After intensive medical treatment, infection control, kidney function recovery, and comprehensive preoperative cardiovascular and respiratory assessments, the Urology – Andrology Department together with the Anesthesiology and Resuscitation team decided to perform Rezum Water V***r therapy for the patient.
⏱️ The procedure was completed in approximately 15 minutes. Currently, the patient has recovered well, was able to urinate normally again, remains in stable condition, and has been discharged for home follow-up care.
According to Dr. Dang Phuoc Dat, Rezum is a minimally invasive treatment that uses the thermal energy of sterile water v***r to reduce enlarged prostate tissue, thereby improving urinary obstruction without the need for tissue removal surgery as in traditional procedures.
✅ Key advantages of Rezum therapy:
🔹 Minimally invasive with reduced bleeding risk
🔹 Less pain and faster recovery
🔹 Minimizes the impact on male sexual function
🔹 Short procedure time with early discharge possible
🔹 Suitable for elderly patients or those with underlying medical conditions
The successful treatment of this 96-year-old patient further demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of Rezum technology in managing benign prostatic hyperplasia, especially for elderly, frail patients or those with complex underlying medical conditions.
