I'm scheduled to have a PVP in one week. Because I have a large (>100 cc)
prostate, my urologist has suggested starting and ending the operation as a
PVP, but switching to a traditional TURP in the middle, in order to shorten
the operating time. Does anyone have any experience with, or comments on,
such a mixed procedure?

I would say it is away of cutting down time and cost of the procedure.
