I just wondered , I thought there was at least one person that was a
member of this group that had to have at least 2 PVP's done. I wondered
1) What was the reason (was the prostate so large they couldn't get it
all on one try or what???)

2) Does the remaining prostate tissue continue to grow and maybe after
5, 10 , or 15 years you have to have it done again?

3) How long a time period between the two was there and why?

I know I have a lot of questions.

there have been some redones when the first one was not satisfactory, but i
have not seen any that had to have it done again because of growth.
in that regard, dr laub recently had me start on avodart to retard growth
(and, maybe some shrinking will result).

This Google link takes you to a British experience of a second PVP in a
short time. It was actually caused by scar tissue forming in the urethra. I
know that the second was successful from personal E-Mails but he did not
post again.
