I had the the Optilume procedure November 2023 following 3 other laser procedures to open my bladder neck which has been scarring over since receiving what a believe was too much radiation for prostate cancer. Gleason 7 and 8's. 25 Radiation treatments plus brachytherapy. None of the bladder neck surgeries worked significantly but gave me some relief for short periods of time. I fought getting a SPC (super pubic catheter) but I could no longer handle the self-cauterization, incontinence and short-term relief. So, 2 years ago I opted for the SPC and for the most part I have gotten used to it. I had great hopes for the balloon treatment and wish you the best. Your situation is different than mine and I think offers you the chance for better outcomes.
