    That is common. Search the Youtube about Aquablation to know how a surgeon performs the procedure. How is the prostate size?

    I dont know that most would call it turp, but they use the electro cautery tool to stop the major bleeding and scoop out the fluffy tissue after the aquablation. Not every surgeon does it but many do.
