Details.
A minimally invasive procedure for men with an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia. Precisely targeted steam is injected into the prostate to shrink excess tissue pressing on the urethra and help improve urinary problems. The procedure is performed under oral sedation or local anaesthetic, typically does not require a general anaesthetic, and usually involves same-day admission and discharge. Treatment usually takes around three to seven minutes. Patients may need to use a catheter at home for the first few days, and most people can return to normal activities within a few days.
