Aquablation- a week after surgery

Aquablation is my third treatment after TUNA and Urolift. Since then, I have wanted a more invasive but lasting procedure to treat my 120-gram enlarged prostate. I researched and found Aquablation as it is not as destructive due to the use of cold water. On March 23, I presented early to the hospital. After being briefed by the Anesthesiologist and the Surgeon, I was wheeled into surgery. The surgery took longer than expected due to the search and removal of the Urolift clips and scraping off the loose prostate tissue. During the rest of the day and night, the nurse used 71 liters of saline water to irrigate my prostate so blood clots would not form. The next day my catheter was removed, and I had to void three times before I was released. However, after the second time, the ultrasound confirmed that I could empty my bladder completely to go home. The bleeding stopped entirely after the fourth day, and everything worked as expected. I am blessed to have found a dedicated top-notch surgeon.
