Do not rely on input from lay strangers. Speak to your doctor at length about both procedures and which one would most benefit your particular case.

TURP is a standard surgical procedure to remove prostate tissue, whereas PVP utilizes a laser and is less invasive. Benefits of PVP include less bleeding post-op and less recovery time.
