Why Excel Advanced Urology Centre is best option for Rezum
Excel Advanced Urology Centre has a specialized team led by senior urologist Dr Ashish Saini who has performed numerous rezum surgeries that significantly enhance the success rates and safety of the procedure.What is Rezum?
Rezūm is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is a condition where the prostate gland enlarges and causes urinary symptoms in ageing men. The Rezūm procedure involves using radiofrequency energy to create thermal energy, which is then delivered through a small instrument inserted into the urethra. This energy is used to target and shrink excess prostate tissue, relieving pressure on the urethra and reducing symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying.
When Rezum is needed?
Moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by BPH, such as:- Frequent urination
- Urgency to urinate
- Weak urine stream
- Difficulty starting urination
- Incomplete emptying of the bladder

- Day of the Procedure
- You don’t need to be fasting on the day of surgery as it is done under local anaesthesia.
- Step Process of the Surgery
- Insertion of the Rezūm System: A small instrument called the Rezūm System is inserted into the urethra. This system consists of a delivery device that emits radiofrequency energy and a handpiece with a needle-like device that is used to deliver the thermal energy to the prostate tissue.
- Treatment of Prostate Tissue: Once the Rezūm System is in place, your healthcare provider will use it to deliver radiofrequency energy to the targeted areas of the prostate tissue. The thermal energy generated by the radiofrequency waves causes the excess prostate tissue to be heated and destroyed.
- Water Vaporization: The radiofrequency energy applied to the prostate tissue causes the water inside the cells to vaporize, leading to the death of the cells. This process results in the shrinkage of the prostate tissue over time.
- Completion of Procedure: Once the treatment is completed, the Rezūm System is removed, and any bleeding is controlled. You may be given medications to help manage any discomfort or urinary symptoms following the procedure.
