The Rezum system is an ablative procedure for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). One of the limitations of the technology is the need for post-operative catheterization up to 5 days. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of employing Catheterless Rezum post-operatively in patients with normal or strong bladder contractility. Upon a positive outcome of interim analysis, the effectiveness of Catheterless Rezum will be assessed at five sites for the multicenter phase.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Male subject of 40 - 80 years of age
• Has provided informed consent
• Has a diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic enlargement
• Able to complete self-administered questionnaires
• Is a surgical candidate for Rezum
• Has medical record documentation of Qmax < 15 ml/s
• Has medical record documentation of prostate volume from 30-80 ml by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)
• Has a bladder contractility index score ≥ 100, calculated by detrusor pressure at Qmax (pDet@qmax) + (5xQmax).
• Willing to undergo pressure-flow studies to calculate BCI prior to surgical intervention.
• Has serum creatinine within the normal range.
• Able to perform intermittent catheterization.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Has a life expectancy < 2 years
• Is currently enrolled in or plans to enroll in any concurrent drug or device study
• Has an active infection (e.g., urinary tract infection or prostatitis)
• Has a diagnosis of or has received treatment for chronic prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain syndrome (e.g., nonbacterial chronic prostatitis)
• Has been diagnosed with a urethral stricture or bladder neck contracture within the last 180 days
• Has been diagnosed with 2 or more urethral strictures and/or bladder neck contractures within 5 years
• Has a diagnosis of lichen sclerosis
• Has a diagnosis of neurogenic bladder or other neurologic disorder that affects bladder function
• Has a diagnosis of polyneuropathy (e.g., diabetic)
• Has a history of lower urinary tract surgery
• Has a diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence that requires treatment or daily pad or device use
• Has an inability to perform intermittent self-catheterization
• Has been catheterized or has a post-void residual (PVR) of > 400 ml in the 14 days prior to the surgical procedure
• Has a current diagnosis of bladder stones
