Another updated report from my August 2025 scoping to see why Aquablation didn't work. One line stuck out; "Does have persistent obstructive tissue at apical gland in veru preserveration zone. No stricture/BNC.

Looked this sentence up 3 different places and basically all say the same thing- a complication that can occur after surgical treatment for BPH when not all the tissue is removed, particularly in area near verumontanum.

So this makes me even more upset at my surgeon or whoever schedules, let a resident practice surgery on me- not the doctor I had seen and selected. Actually according to what I signed when woke up during surgery said my surgeon could be off on another procedure, but would be available. However, I never got to read what I signed until months later when trouble started. Just got woke up with a tablet and signature block over my head and told to sign and then knocked back out.

Complained to their patient advocacy section and got a letter that they were looking into it with urology staff and would get back in 45 day. It could take longer than 45 days and I could call if I had questions or more information.

Really disappointed in KUMC.

@diverjer that explanation does make sense. The question then becomes is the tissue still there because of a surgeon’s lack of skill during the planning stage? If so then a second round of aquablation performed by a more experienced surgeon might be in order.
The new generation of aquablation equipment called Hydros is better able to remove tissue in that area by means of something they call a butterfly cut made around the ejaculatory openings.
