I had Foley catheter in/out for 1 1/2 years..mostly in. Had the Holep in Indianapolis at IU medical. This hospital preforms more Holep than any hospital in the USA....500+ per year. Go with experience...very important.

How did yours go? Any complications? Incontinence issues? Down time? Pain?

Experience counts on this one. I will demand to have a face to face to ask questions. Of course they can lie. Once I'm out on the table they can stick a kid in there to use me as a practice doll and play Ninetendo with my penis with a crowd of grads behind him / her. I really shouldn't be having these thoughts. I see how they use AI to practice these days and the model they use probably doesn't look anything like my prostate, once you get in there and lose orientation things can get accidentally lased- through the capsule, bladder sphincter, so it's important to know if they are familiar with the "en bloc" technique.

" 'En Bloc' HoLEP with early apical release is a safe technique that allows for easier recognition of the surgical plane and preserves the external sphincter's mucosa to provide low rates of post-operative stress incontinence and significant functional results."
