- Medication is no longer enough
- Complete blockage of urine (retention)
- Repeated infections or stones linked to the prostate
Before the operation
- Uroflowmetry, ultrasound, PSA
- Cystoscopy in some cases
- Anaesthesia consultation
The operation
- Through the natural passages, with no scar
- Short stay at Sainte-Anne Saint-Rémi or the Basilique clinic
- Follow-up after the operation
