I'd like to know what their recovery was like, which doctor performed the procedure and a little bit about their condition before surgery.

Tlk: i am scheduled for holep in mayo jacksonville (dr chandler dora) in april. I’d be very interested in following your experience. I hear holep is pretty high end and successful esp if done by docs with sufficient experience.. when is your procedure?

So far so good. No seeping and able to void. But, the catheter was extremely painful. While inserted, any movement provoked acute pain. And, other than this catheter issue, no pain. My burning question...no pun intended....With holep post surgery should the catheter be extremely painful with slight movement in bed or with removal of catheter? The RN had great difficulty removing it. I would greatly appreciate feedback from others as to their experience. The hospital staff played mute.

Welcome to Connect, @derhundsturm. While we wait for @tlk1951 @calluci and others to return, I thought I’d offer some details from Mayo Clinic about HoLEP: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/holmium-laser-prostate-surgery/about/pac-20384871
You can also read more about prostate laser surgery, how you prepare, what you can expect, etc. on this webpage: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/prostate-laser-surgery/about/pac-20384874

Scheduled for the HOLEP procedure. Any comments from those that have had this procedure? Particularly interested in how long the recovery is, return to sexual relations, and pain after procedure. Will I be bed confined for days/weeks,etc. Our comments are stories most appreciated.

@cent66, @kayak461 and others, There is another discussion where members are sharing their experience with the procedure that might be helpful.
