Hi, has anyone had the procedure called FOCUSED LASER ABLATION
for BPH?This procedure is approved by the Food & Drug.This procedure does not have the usually side effects because the prostate is not accessed throught the urethra.This procedure also permanently relieved the symptoms of BPH. Dr. Sperling is the expert in this procedure.
Sounds great to me! RONNIE

Can you tell us a little more about the procedure and how it is done?
There are many procedures on offer some with variable outcomes.

done this past Tuesday. So far so good, but no real improvement as yet; of course the improvement is supposed to occur in 2-4.weeks. Had it done with local topical Xylocaine. A bit uncomfortable and IV sedation would have helped, but my group does not do that. And I certainly would not want to have general anesthesia for the procedure.

The prostate is accessed through the rectum which avoids the side effects of erectile dysfunction,retrograde ejaculation,and urinary incontinence.That's why I'm quite interested. RONNIE

Ron, You said you would not have the general anesthesia for this procedure? I;m curious why you did not have this? I would imagine their would be less pain? I'm i right?

Talk to Ross about PAE. He had Dr Bagla and he ended up having FLA and is doing excellent. We have quite a few guys on here that have had the urolift and did not get what they wanted, plus the splines are left behind, even if you want anouther procedure done. Just look around, we have them all on these forums.

From Dr. Sperling's web site, he says that the procedure is used to treat Prostate Cancer tumors. He does NOT mention using the procedure as a treatment for BPH (non cancerous enlargement of the prostate).

His website even has a drop down menu for BPH. There is a
testimonial from a patient with BPH.
