Brief summary

the investigators aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of Rezūm therapy for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with Tamsulosin.

Detailed description

So far, data from available studies point towards good clinical outcomes with a short-term risk of self-limiting minor complications. Its application has demonstrated clinical effectiveness and possesses specific benefits that distinguish it among other treatments. It is applicable to outpatient setting, is effective in preserving sexual function and is versatile in its ability to treat a variety of prostate gland morphology.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The International Prostate Symptom score (IPSS)Time Frame: for each case in both groups the investigator assess IPSS at 3, 6, 12 after procedures through study completion, an average of 1 yearMeasurement of The International Prostate Symptom score (IPSS) in both groups After 3, 6, 12 months of operation, the questioner is performed. Minimum :0 / Maximum : 35 Total score: 0-7 Mildly symptomatic; 8-19 moderately symptomatic; 20-35 severely symptomatic
The Maximum Urinary flow rate (Qmax)Time Frame: for each case in both groups the investigator assess Qmax at 3, 6, 12 months after procedures through study completion, an average of 1yearMeasurement of The Maximum Urinary flow rate (Qmax) in both groups After 3, 6, 12 months of operation, the procedure is performed. Qmax is measured by (ml/sec) Normal values are described as a Qmax above 15 ml/sec and below 10 ml/sec is considered abnormal
The Quality of Life (QoL)[Time Frame: for each case in both groups the investigator assess QoL at 3, 6, 12 months after procedures through study completion, an average of 1 yearMeasurement of The Quality of Life (QoL) in both groups After 3, 6, 12 months of operation, the questioner is performed. Minimum :0 means delighted / Maximum : 5 means unhappy
The Prostate sizeTime Frame: for each case in both groups the investigator assess prostate size at 3, 6, 12 months after procedures through study completion, an average of 1 year.the prostate size was measured by grams by Trans-rectal ultra sound

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of complicationsthrough 1 yearFor each case in both groups the investigator assess the safety using incidence of complications by The Clavien-Dindo system. It uses a 5-grade scale (I-V), to classify complications from minor issues not requiring intervention (Grade I) to death (Grade V).
