HoLEP vs aquablation vs ? which is best procedure to preserve all func

@tkohler I had the Urolift inserted around six years ago. This past October I had an Aquablation performed as the Urolift failed. During the procedure a stone 4CMs was located in the bladder. Upon removal it was noted that the stone surrounded a small piece of metal from the Urolift. I had a renal stone removed today from the right ureter and another 2CM size stone with metal was found in the bladder since October. NOT a fan of the Urolift. Hope this helps.

@dendon1 - your experience with forming a stone on urolift clips is something I have seen often. Any foreign body in the bladder will likely form stones - in the case of urolift clips, they sometimes erode through the prostate into the bladder which is the set up. Per my previous posts, Urolifts long term durability is not great - this is traded for less sexual side effects however.
