Anyone have any information or experience with PVP for a median lobe
protrusion into the bladder aka a ball-valve?
TUNA, TUMT, thermal, alcohol, etc. are NG for a ball-valve. That leaves
TURP, PVP or holmium laser as the only alternatives.
Based on the Laserscope site video of a complete PVP procedure, PVP is at
the head of the list. But the video was not for a ball-valve.
I can't seem to locate any good information re PVP with a ball-valve by
searching the Laserscope site or using Google. Contacted Laserscope but so
far no reply.

Jay,
Your conclusions are correct. Please see all my stuff going back three
years.
I had a huge asymetrical median lobe protuding into my bladder.

Jay I had a large median lobe, almost half the mass of my enlarged prostate,
when I had a PVP 18 months ago. I was warned that retro was a strong
possibility, and I still have retro. At age 75 I really don't care that
much about it, still have orgasms and ejaculate most of the time. The semen
come out mostly with the first urination after having ejaculated. I am very
happy I had the PVP done, getting up at most once a night, flow rate has
increased 5 to 7 times what is was pre PVP and I am able to hold urine in
the bladder most better than before. Leakage was a real problem for me when
I had to go.
