Sumario:BACKGROUND: Rezūm™ water vapor therapy is a new minimally invasive endoscopic technology for the management and treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old male presented to our department with severe dysuria, frequency, urgency, and interrupted stream 2 mo after receiving Rezūm™ therapy. The symptoms were caused by a retained floating emphysematous necrotic sloughed tissue. We also discovered a persistent bacterial infection that was resistant to parenteral antimicrobial therapy. The treatment of the patient included surgical removal of the necrotic tissue. CONCLUSION: Despite the good safety profile and minimal adverse events related to Rezūm™ therapy, major complications can still occur.
