I wonder if it is a procedure for the growing prostate that delays the need for more invasive operations for a few years. but yes we are seeing very happy patients

Could you elaborate on that ?


You say the kit takes some getting used to, I’m a bit confused, do you mean it takes a while for the patient to adjust to what is implanted or is it the surgical equipment required for the task requires an experienced surgeon ?


I have been considering this procedure, after living with BPH for many years


The other thing I find a bit off putting is the time frame benefit of this procedure only seems to be 3-4 years ?
