It was reported that the patient had a water vapor therapy procedure to treat his benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The patient's prostate was larger than 50 grams, a large medium lobe and an inflatable penile prosthesis grade three.
The patient stopped antiplatelet medication seven days prior to the procedure and resumed aspirin and plavix medication three days post procedure.
The patient had a total of six treatments with the device.
The patient also had an inflatable penile prosthesis(ipp) implanted and during the procedure, the urologist decided to put cannabidiol(cbd) around the ipp for three weeks.
The patient removed his cbd after three weeks post procedure and was doing well and able to urinate after removing the cbd.
Days later, the patient was admitted to the hospital due to excessive bleeding.
The cystoscopy showed that the patient's prostate had shrunk, however, a massive necrotic tissue was over the prostate including the median and lateral lobe which caused the patient to bleed and the wound to be infected.
The urologist used transurethral resection of the prostate (turp) to resect the necrotic tissue.
The patient was discharged and the patient condition following the procedure was stable.
There is no allegation on the device or the utilization of the device.
