Mangaluru: AJ Hospital & Research Centre has announced the successful introduction of REZUM, an advanced, minimally invasive surgical treatment (MIST) for Benign Prostatic Enlargement (BPH) — marking the first such procedure in the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, as well as Northern Malabar and Konkan regions.

How REZUM works

The state-of-the-art, non-surgical REZUM therapy uses natural energy stored in water vapour (steam) to ablate excess prostate tissue, offering long-lasting relief from urinary symptoms with minimal downtime.


Performed typically as a day-care procedure, REZUM helps preserve both sexual and urinary function — making it an ideal option for men seeking effective results without the side effects of long-term medications or risks of conventional surgery.

Advantages to patients include:

  • Short procedure time

  • Painless

  • No blood loss

  • Short hospital stay

  • Negligible side effects

Proven results at AJ Hospital

The procedure has already been successfully performed at AJ Hospital, with patients reporting significant symptom relief and rapid recovery.

Expert’s statement

Dr. Prashanth Marla, Medical Director and Head of the Department of Urology, Andrology, Renal Transplant & Robotic Surgery, said:

“With REZUM, we bring global technology to local care. This therapy offers a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution for BPH that is transforming how we manage prostate enlargement. We are pleased to lead the way in this region with successful cases already demonstrating excellent results.”
