i had a Urolift and completely failed - i asked about REZUM and said it's not an option. My question is - HoLEP vs TURP? which is better? What are the pro's / Con's?

There is a lot of information on this online. My research told me that 1. One and done. No redo after 5-7 years. The reason is HoLep takes all of almost all the prostate tissue vs turp that just takes out enough to open the passageway. It will continue to grow and need to be opened up again with a Turp. 2. The laser used for HoLep vs microblades for Turp has less bleeding and faster recovery time. My cath was in for one day.
