Re: Dilatation instead of pvp?

I don't think from what I have read that I would recommend dilatation as a
temporary substitute for the surgery. The PVP is a fairly simple procedure
although as others have said it is not a walk in the park. Unfortunately, so
far I am one of the 10% that PVP's have not helped but there are 90% out
there that have had remarkable results. From what I read on the dilatation,
it seems to onlyh be a temporary fix and can actually create other false
channels. Go to www.laserurology.com. Dr. Lin has a set of questions and
answers on the PVP. If I can help any further, let me know.

Buford, thanks for the response. My sympathies for the pain you
experienced with dilatation. So, clearly, one would have to seek
sedation or some kind of anesthesia. But the question that remains is
this: what was the result of dilatation? Did it improve flow? Did it
have to be done again? If you could do it painlessly, would you
recomend it as a temporary substitute for surgery?
