Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

Differently: the expertise and level of experience of the urologist/surgeon (this could be the most critical factor),
Not to have to wake up and find out that a resident in training did it! Don't know if my surgeon who I thought was doing it and had been seeing was there or not?
Then 7 months later after another scoping said stuff still in there, not new growth and do I want a revision surgery. So far I have done nothing but go back on Flomax.

Great post! My experience aligns with your description.
Had the procedure on Nov 4th, 2025. I have been through "living hell". I have visited the ER five times and once to urgent care.
My symptoms have been improving at a snail pace. Frequency, urgency, burning, and pain that are accompanied with the strong need to defecate after urinating. A urine culture cameback without "growth". Meaning that no infection found. Nevertheless, I had been under several courses of antibiotics.
The positive side? My stream is strong and ejaculations are more voluminous than before the surgery. I had three CT scans (one w contrast) and found a small kidney stone going it's way down. I suspect this had exasperated my recuperation.
I strongly recommend to have physical and emotional support post op. I live by myself and having this procedure during the holidays have taken a toll.
I have an appointment with my Urologist at the end of Jan. Hopefully, he will do an ultrasound for my kidney stone; and perhaps order an MRI. I will insist to get those exams nevertheless.
For those reading this post: "please take an active role on your health" and stay motivated. I would still recommending this procedure even with the nightmare experience post op. The long term benefits are worth the misery.
Background:
I am 57, prostate was 65cc. Spent one overnight and had the catheter for 7 days.
