Hi, I am interested in the TUIP for prostate rather than TURP
Does anybody know what hospitals in the UK carry this out?
Thanks

TUIP's been around for over 20 years but doesn't seem that popular anymore which doesn't necessarily mean it's not a good choice. I'd try and find a doctor who has performed a number of them.

It doesn’t seem like very many people are getting the TUIP done. But it is what Dr K thought I should have done because the FLA opened up a bunch of space that soon filled up with fluid. I suggested Rezum as a follow up, but he said no that was not a good idea. I cannot remember if he said why. The incidence of retro doesn’t seem to be too high for TUIP based on what you posted earlier, thanks for that.

I would get more opinions on TUIP from urologists and bring your 3TMRI's with you. The problem is not that many doctor's perform it and those that don't probably don't know much about it. Might be worth a trip to a place like the Mayo or Cleveland Clinic where they have a broad urologic knowledge base. Most of the article and studies on TUIP are 10-20 years old and while somewhat popular back then as an in-office procedure, it got dropped by most uros I assume because it didn't work that well.

You might want to ask Jersey Doc abou TUIP over in the Rezum thread. His practice seems to do (or has done) just about all of the procedures.

Jim, I would also look into redo rate after a TUIP. I researched this stuff awhile back and I think it didn't hold up that well. Cam

Jim & Cam I look into it to. And the articles that I read some say that a TUIP can give you the same side effects of a Turp and other say that retro ejaculation is less likely to happen. But you have to remember they are not just cutting a slice in the prostate they are cutting the bladder neck. And if you look up bladder neck incisions procedure there is a 35 % chance of retro because the bladder neck will not close right. Take care ken

Camster, that is what I remember as well. The results weren't that durable.

No I don’t consider it a success. I did for a long time, but now I am basically in the same spot I was prior to the procedure. So while Dr K (and 3 other “FLA experts”) think the TUIP would help me, I am inclined to go for a more aggressive procedure and just be done with it.
I don’t like the retro I get from Flomax, but I don’t like not being able to pee more.
It sounds like most docs that do TURP can also do TUIP, but I think they just go straight to the TURP procedure, probably due to the effectiveness.
And Jimjames, so far I have had my MRI’s sent to one uro who didn’t look at them or consider them. I also got a lecture about TURP being the gold standard, what were you thinking, blah, blah, blah. So I am now seeing a second uro because of this hoping he will be a little more open minded.
I am also prepared to head to Mayo if needed, but seems like so far their specialty is Holep, although they are doing the trial of Aquablation, they do not have the equipment yet, and aren’t sure if they will. They must have something on loan from the manufacturer in the mean time...

Patient experience on Bladder Neck Incision Surgery:
Proceed with caution
Erectile disfunction, irritation, constant tearing sensation, loss of your male soul
Only to be performed as last option
Don't listen to doctors claiming minimally invasive etc this surgery slices into you prostrate in two locations. Imagine your erectile supportive muscles being disconnected. You will lose an incredible amount of feeling and won't feel like the man you were before.
Research how men who have had a radical prostectemy feel - lost, impotent, empty. This is the effect of cutting into a man's prostate. The urological community only treats the prostate as a problem and does not acknowledge any of it's function. You will have complications and nobody will listen, they will just quote you the textbook phrase 'Gold standard treatment.' These people are either misinformed or just influenced by money
This surgery is damaging
If you are no longer sexually active and have major problems voiding go ahead. For all else be warned and do not trust the 'professionals.' The industry is tainted. Get at least three opinions and remember my words
