Huge prostate (250) with urinary stop/start issues

Is your 250, 250 grams? Via MRI my prostate was just over 100 grams. My surgeon said 100 was the breakpoint between HOLEP and Robot Simple Prostatectomy. I chose Robot Simple at age 68 hoping I am one and done.

Sounds like you made a wise decision.
My urologist told me I was approaching a point of no return due to prostate size.
He recommended aquablation, and I went along with it.
After 4 months, I'm not sure that was the best choice for me.
So far aquablation has not led to measurable improvements, and some times wonder if I would have fared better with prostatectomy.

I am seeing my surgeon this week re HOLEP. I will let you the results of my appointment with him.
Thanks for your input.
Best, ellenbep1
