I recently underwent a HoLEP procedure (a laser TURP for want of a better description) and no shaving or triming of hair took place.
Incidentally, are you opting for a general or spinal anaesthetic? I've had 3 urological procedures carried out in the last two years and all done using a spinal anaesthetic and I would recommend it to anyone having such procedures.
Just be aware that some anaesthetists will endeavour to talk you out of a spinal for reasons that don't really hold water and I suspect that they have a personal preference for general anaesthetics.
If you do opt for a spinal you will not regret it and the only discomfort comes from the needle scratch when the local anaesthetic is given prior to the spinal anaesthetic needle which you won't feel at all.
Good luck.

No big deal....it grows again rapidly and removal reduces the risk of infection....can't be bad!

Why did you choose TURP as opposed to other methods?

Remember that a PAE is done by an interventional radiologist, not a urologist. A urologist will NEVER recommend a PAE because they make no money on it.
