Anyone have any experience with it, or other comments? I've googled it;
lots of hits in the web pages, but nothing shows up in the newsgroups.

Thanks,

Ray

If you are asking if it applies to BPH. I would say no.
Appears to be specifc for cutting applications. Not vaporization.

RevoLix is what my current uro would use for my BPH. He poo-pooed the
microwave approach that another uro would use if several months of
Flomax and Avodart didn't do the job.

I had a vaporization done with RevoLix in Jan. My uro, who had done a
lot of PVPs using GreenTree, was pleased with the use of this laser.

My results were probably similar to those that would have been obtained
with a GreenTree laser. In my particular case, my flow vastly improved,
but my primary symptom, frequent night-time urination, didn't improve.
However, I was lucky enough to not to get retrograde ejaculation.
