My urologist is recommending Prolieve Thermodilatation.  Where does that
stand vis a vis the state of the art?

Are there folks here with experience?

A microwave treatment like TUMT.  Success rate I expect is in the 50% to
80% range.  The doctors often recommend trying that first.  It is done
in their office and least invasive.

Looks like Prolieve's eqivalent of the Targis system by Urologix.

Many references on the web:
