Hmm, maybe that is what my first URO meant when in answer to my question if
their group did laser treatments said, "It is the same as TURP". That is
when I went looking for a URO who does PVP.

I would even disagree with him saying that Holmium is the same as TURP.

I could have had the rough and ready Holmium treatment last year but turned it down and waited to get the precise PVP this year. Derek.

A few weeks ago I posted a question re PVP vs other laser treatments for
BPH. At the time I couldn't remember exactly which laser system my uro
uses (I live in a rural area; the nearest uros who do PVP live hundreds
of miles away). With all the positive feedback here from those who've
had a PVP procedure, I'm sold. However, I'd like to know if anyone has
any feedback, negative or positive on the Holmium laser system as it
applies to BPH. My doc reiterated to me that the end result will be as
good as a green light PVP but of course he hasn't done any PVPs.

Comments?
