[QUOTE="OMI100, post: 277535, member: 71"] UPDATE TIME 3-16-24 After much research I had decided to look into Aquablation. I reached out to the Emory Hospital (Atlanta) URO DEPT as they have a Urologist that does Aquablation. I had a consult and was impressed with his openness and frank discussion. We went over all the issues that I have went through and he said it looked like there was 3 options. 1> remove the prostate HMMMMM NO. 2> Aquablation and 3> HoLEP. He did not do HoLEP but another DR. does and as I had bleeding issues and 2 PAEs he recommended that I consult with him. I did that last week. I was also impressed with him. He went over all the pluses and minuses of both procedures (he also does Aquablation) and I explained that my main reason for looking at Aquablation was time on the table. He explained that due to the current size of my prostate (160) the procedure time would be about the same for either procedure. He also identified Retrograde Ejaculation (RE) where semen make a right turn and ends up in your bladder BUT everything else is the same as one possible negative side. I am waaaaay past wanting to make babies so that was not an issues. He pointed out that there would be less recovery time and I might even be released same day with no cath and in some cases an over night stay with a cath or trip back next day to remove the cath. My research indicated a bit more recover and cath time with Aquablation. Based on that, the answer was clear…. Sign me up Scotty for a HoLep… (Star Trek play on words). I have an appointment on 22 April and have asked to be on a wait list. If I get 2 days’ notice I will be there 4 hour drive one way and hotel time for me, but small price to pay to get this fixed. Till next update [/QUOTE]
