Patient testimonial of a life changing transformation after "roto rooter" or TURP (transurethral resection of prostate). This surgery was performed by Dr. John C. Lin of Sunrise Urology in Gilbert, Arizona.

Ben recounts that he no longer has to know where all the bathrooms are located anymore. He suffered urinary difficulties despite tamsulosin but was not very compliant with the medication. His workup included a cystoscopy, which showed a large median lobe obstructing his bladder. He went home the same day after his surgery, and had a catheter for less than 24 hours. There were no worsening sexual side effect he noticed.

He said: "I wish I had done it sooner." "It's back to normal."

Ben gave advice to his coworkers and others about what to do with urinary difficulties.

Dr. Lin shared that the experience of the surgeon matters.

TURP is usually performed as an OUTPATIENT procedure. Dr. Lin uses saline, bipolar, plasma technology, which is much safer than the traditional TURP. This means the patient goes home the same day, without hospitalization. Catheter, if one is used, is usually removed in less than 24 hours.
