HOLEP as i understand, because it cauterizes, there is less chance of bleeding. between good luck and the surgeon’s skill i had almost no bleeding.
it was a choice of practicality too. these surgeons seem to all do 2 different procedures, i guess to have a fallback. “my” surgeon does HOLEP and REZUM, and he told me my prostate was too big for REZUM. Yes I could have checked into other procedures, but that would have involved new appointments with different doctors,and would have taken months. I did not want to wait that long. HOLEP was one ofbthe shorter hospital stays, little or no pain, less bleeding. It was time for me to finally do something and i chose HOLEP.
My 2 cents 🙂
