@pioneer Glad things went well. Just thought I would clarify for others who may read this. Tulsa Pro is not surgery, which is one of its big benefits. It is described as a minimally invasive, incision-free procedure rather than traditional surgery. It destroys prostate tissue using heat under MRI guidance, it does not involve cutting, removing the prostate physically, or using radiation. The lack of any cutting results in its fast recovery time. I too have to catch myself when I describe the procedure!

Great catch. Definitely not surgery. There was no cutting, bleeding or stitches😄. Just the small pain from them installing the IV. I can handle that.
