@leo3 I had Green Light laser surgery 11 yrs ago for my BPH. It wouldn’t have changed my mind, but no one said it would last only 10 yrs, the symptoms returned and I’m in need of another surgery . This time it was recommended and I opted for Holep as I’ll never need to go through another BPH surgery. The surgeon is at Yale New Haven Hospital Urology and he’s the gold standard there, as well as the entire east coast. I’m planning the surgery during the summer and hope it’s a better experience than I had with Green Light. It took me 2 months to pee without a catheter. 🙏

@aflik The green light laser surgery caused you to have the exact opposite side effect that I had with holep. You couldn't pee normally for 2 months after. I pee uncontrollably ever since holep surgery. Both situations are bad. I assume after the 2 months you were able to get back to living relatively normal. Yes, it's true holep offers the longest lasting results and that is one of the reasons I opted for holep. The other reason was I take a blood thinner (warfarin) and holep results in less bleeding than the other procedures. Sounds like you have the best available surgeon. Good luck with the procedure and your recovery.
