Is HoLep recovery worth the procedure?

I tried the less invasive procedures like urolift and Aquablation with no lasting relief. However, I found out later a resident did the Aquablation and then 7 month later the real surgeon that was suppose to do surgery did a scope and said I need an Aquablation revision. So far I have not done anything. Just taking Flomax.

I do know someone who had HOLEP and they still have some leakage issues at times and it's been about 3 maybe 4 months. Had lots of leakage first month. From reading on here, that does seem to be an issue? However, I also think that most folks that have no long term issues aren't going to be posting. It's only when things don't go right that you want to let the world know.

@diverjer I had holep six mons ago. I have a little bit of occasional leakage. All said, the results are very good. Dr Cheney at Mayo Phoenix performed the procedure.
I highly recommend it. I have RE, but it is no big deal. A small trade off to no longer have pee issues.
