Abstract
Water Vapor Thermal Therapy is a novel, office-based procedure which has gained traction as first line therapy in specific therapeutic cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia. In this study, we present a case of a diabetic patient with complicated benign prostatic hyperplasia who presented with acute urinary retention along with bilateral hydronephrosis and acute kidney injury. He was treated with water vapor thermal therapy and subsequent urethral stenting, which alleviated his acute presentation and clinical symptoms. To the authors' knowledge, there are no reported cases which highlight the use of water vapor thermal therapy in complicated benign prostatic hyperplasia.
