I had HoLEP last December in Temple, Tx, Dr Taleb (if I remember huw to spell his name). All is well except I still have some leakage even after 7 months post surgery. My bladder was quite stretched, so maybe that is why I still have some leakage. I often forget to do Kegels.
2019 Johns Hopkins advised I have Open Simple Prostate surgery from 42 yr BPH world renown experienced Uro; My research disclosed Robotic Simple was less intrusive than Open- so, my quest brought me to Univ of Okla Cancer Center in 2/2020 w 20 yr Robotic experienced Uro - doing complete removal for cancer prostates n Robotic Simple for BPH; I was scheduled for Robotic 3/2020; 3 days before surgery, it was canceled due to COVID. I searched more during the year and found out the HoLEP n ThuLEP lasers were having good results w BPH. I found the top- in my i opinion Uros doing HoLEP in USA. I learned Dr Amy was pioneering Moses 2.0 HoLEP at NW. I sent my CT n 3tMri to her n chatted about my 231g P n bladder stones. I and HoLEP and Dr Amy was a match for my BIG prostate. 7/14/2021 177g removed. In at 10:30 n walked out hospital at 4:30pm w no catheter. She is a rock star and her Team is stellar! I have not regretted 1 second of making that decision.
