Thanks for your helpful post! Glad you had a good experience. I'm concerned about the insertion of the SpaceOar. I've heard of a few complications. By chance, do you recall who did your SpaceOar?

I can't remember the docs name, but I have to send an email to Mayo to reschedule my PSA test so I can ask. I was talking to him during the procedure, and he told me he does 6-8 per week so he might be the only doc that does them. He said a few months prior to my visit they weren't filling all the appointments, but now patients had to wait over two months. This was in February, 2022. It's a delicate and complicated process, but once he was done, I had no complications or side effects and never felt it.

I'll post his name once I find out.
