INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES. Several surgical procedures have been reported for treatment of male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of to benign outlet obstruction (BOO). Compared to other treatments, Rezum procedure is indicated in individuals who are not candidates for anesthesia due to significant concomitant comorbidities and for those aiming to maintain ejaculatory function, with modest urinary benefits. STUDY’S AIM. The purpose of the present study is to report functional and perioperative outcomes, complications, and predictors of complications following Rezum water vapor therapy for the treatment of male patients LUTS secondary to BOO. MATERIALS AND METHODS. From June 2022 to December 2023, 116 consecutive patients with LUTS suggestive of BOO were treated with Rezum water vapor therapy. All the data were collected prospectively and a set of validated questioonaires, including IPSS, ICIq-UI SF, and IIEF-5 were adopted to assess functional outcomes. Satava and Clavien-Dindo classifications were used to classify intraoperative and postoperative complications. All the statistical analyses were performed with IBM SPSS Statistics for Macintosh, 29.0. RESULTS. Patients age was 67.5 year (59.4–75.9), and prostate volume was 52 cc (42–64). Most of the patients were pre-treated with drug therapies (median duration 36 mo). 19% of the patients had indwelling urethral catheter at the moment of surgery. 90% of the patients were treated under mild sedation. Median operative time was 8 minutes (5–12), with a median number of 4 injections (3–6). Ninety-two patients (79%) were discharged on the same day of the procedure. The baseline IPSS total score was 19 (15–26), with voiding subscore of 10.5 (6.2–15) and storage subscore of 6 (3.2–8.7). The IPSS quality of life score was 5 (4–5). The baseline ICIq-UI SF score was 0 (0–1). Three months after surgery we observed statistically significant improvements in all the postoperative IPSS related parameters. Specifically, the IPSS total score was 9.5 (6–14); IPSS voiding subscore was 4 (2–6.7); IPSS storage subscore was 6 (3.2–8.7); and IPSS Quality of life was 2 (1–3) (all p<0.001). Conversely, the postoperative ICIq-UI SF score (median 0; IQR 0–0; p=0.6), and the IIEF-5 score (median 16; IQR 10–21; p=0.2) were unchanged. At 12-mo follow-up, we observed further improvements in the IPSS storage subscore (5, 2–9), IPSS Quality of life (2, 1–4), and ICIQ-UI SF score (0, 0–0) (all p<0.01). According to the questionnaire, 3-mo following surgery complete continence was achieved by 78% of the patients, whereas 21%, and 1% of the patients experienced slight or moderate UI. The vast majority of the patients who leak reported leaking about once a week or less often (18%) and leaking a small amount of urine (20%). According to question #6 of the ICIq-UI SF, about 14% and 2% of the patients reported urgency and stress urinary incontinence, respectively. Three patients (2.5%) were readmitted after discharge for complication related to Rezum. Within 90 days, we observed complications in 42 patients (36%), equally distributed between grade 1 and complications. Most of the cases were episodes of acute urinary retention and urinary tract infections. CONCLUSIONS. In our experience, Rezum was associated with a significant LUTS relief, a low retreatment rate and a large number of low-grade postoperative complications. Notably, a significant number of patients refers persistent storage LUTS and urgency urinary incontinence.
INTRODUZIONE E OBIETTIVI. Diverse procedure chirurgiche sono indicate per il trattamento dei pazienti di sesso maschile con sintomi del tratto urinario inferiore (LUTS) dovuti a ostruzione benigna cervico-uretrale (BOO). A confronto con altri trattamenti, questa procedura è indicata in soggetti con comorbità importanti ed in coloro che mirano al mantenimento della funzione eiaculatoria, con un beneficio minzionale modesto. SCOPO DELLO STUDIO. Lo scopo dello studio è quello di valutare i risultati funzionali e perioperatori, le complicanze e i predittori delle complicanze della nuova tecnica di termoterapia Rezum a vapore acqueo convettivo per il trattamento dei LUTS secondari a BOO. MATERIALI E METODI. Dal giugno 2022 al dicembre 2023, 116 pazienti consecutivi con LUTS secondari a BOO sono stati trattati con termoterapia Rezum a vapore acqueo convettivo. Tutti i dati sono stati raccolti prospetticamente e un insieme di questionari validati, tra cui IPSS, ICIq-UI SF e IIEF-5, sono stati adottati per valutare i risultati funzionali. Le classificazioni di Satava e Clavien-Dindo sono state utilizzate per classificare le complicanze intraoperatorie e postoperatorie. Tutte le analisi statistiche sono state eseguite con IBM SPSS Statistics per Macintosh, versione 29.0. RISULTATI. L'età dei pazienti era di 67.5 anni (59.4–75.9). Il volume prostatico era di 52 cc (42-64). La maggior parte dei pazienti era stata sottoposta a trattamenti farmacologici precedentemente (durata mediana 36 mesi). 19% dei pazienti erano portatori di catetere a dimora al momento dell’operazione. Il 90% dei pazienti è stato trattato con una leggera sedazione. Il tempo medio operatorio è stato di 8 minuti (5–12), con un numero medio di 4 iniezioni (3–6). Novantadue pazienti (79%) sono stati dimessi lo stesso giorno del procedimento. Il punteggio totale IPSS era di 19 (15-26), con un IPSS voiding subscore di 10,5 (6,2-15) e un IPSS storage subscore di 6 (3,2-8,7). Il punteggio del Quality of life era 5 (4-5). Il punteggio ICIq-UI SF era 0 (0-1). Tre mesi dopo l'intervento, abbiamo osservato miglioramenti statisticamente significativi in tutti i parametri post-operatori correlati all'IPSS. In particolare, il punteggio totale IPSS era 9,5 (6-14); il IPSS voiding subscore era 4 (2-6,7); il IPSS storage subscore era 6 (3,2-8,7); e il punteggio del Quality of life era 2 (1-3) (tutti i valori p<0,001). Al contrario, il punteggio post-operatorio ICIq-UI SF (mediano 0; IQR 0-0; p=0,6) e il punteggio IIEF-5 (mediano 16; IQR 10-21; p=0,2) sono rimasti invariati. Al follow-up di 12 mesi, abbiamo osservato ulteriori miglioramenti nel punteggio IPSS storage subscore (5, 2 - 9), nella IPSS Quality of life (2, 1 - 4) e nel punteggio ICIq-UI SF (0, 0 - 0) (tutti i valori p <0,01). Secondo il questionario, a 3 mesi dall'intervento la continenza completa è stata raggiunta dal 78% dei pazienti, mentre il 21% e l'1% dei pazienti hanno sperimentato una lieve o moderata incontinenza urinaria. La stragrande maggioranza dei pazienti con incontinenza urinaria ha riportato perdite di circa una volta a settimana o meno spesso (18%) e perdite di una piccola quantità di urina (20%). Secondo la domanda #6 dell'ICIq-UI SF, circa il 14% e il 2% dei pazienti ha riportato rispettivamente urgenza e incontinenza urinaria da stress. Tre pazienti (2,5%) sono stati riammessi dopo la dimissione per complicazioni legate a Rezum. Entro 90 giorni, abbiamo osservato complicazioni in 42 pazienti (36%), distribuiti equamente tra complicazioni di grado 1 e superiori. La maggior parte dei casi erano episodi di ritenzione urinaria acuta e infezioni del tratto urinario. CONCLUSIONI. Nella nostra esperienza, Rezum è stato associato a un significativo sollievo dei LUTS, a un basso tasso di ritrattamento e a un gran numero di complicanze postoperatorie di basso grado. In particolare, un significativo numero di pazienti riferisce persistenza di storage LUTS e incontinenza urinaria d’urgenza.
