i had the Holmes (Green laser) for stricture removal after my prostrate was removed. It was relatively painless and very effective ( ended up getting an AUS, it was so good) Lot better than the rotor...
I am prostrate survivor for 17 years and have had a AUS for 7 years. I went back to Cleveland Clinic last November and found I had a spastic bladder which effected the AUS. Since using the oxybutin,...
one more thing with AUS - placement of activation button. I am left handed so had it placed near my right testicle since I hold my penis with left when urinate. Surgeon though I was crazy first until...

I was incontinent to various stages from 3 pads to 10 pads a day for 10 years. I have since had AS which cut down pads to occasional drips. Since I traveled rather extensively, I always made certain...
I agree with everyone so far - my surgery was 11 years ago. Physician and expertise or reputation is important. How Physcian treats you as a person and helps you understand options - just because...
