As I've previously discussed in my main thread, following RARP in 2017 I developed a stricture. I had it dilated in 2020 and have self catherterised regularly ever since. Following a chat with the specialist Andrology Nurse recently I will be screened for suitability for the Optilume procedure which has recently become available in my area and is now fairly widely used in the NHS.

Has anyone here had the procedure? Im looking for feedback back from men who have had it done please.

Cheers

Bill

Hi Adrian, thanks for the link. The report is from 2021 and Optilume has become more widely used since then although I have found no other information on other trials but the fact that it's wider use in the NHS is as a result of this trial is positive.

It seems no posters on here have had the procedure.

I intend to go ahead with it if offered after screening and will update here for those who are interested.

Cheers

Bill

Hi, Bill.

I've no personal experience of the procedure, mate. However this link does contain lots of information on Optilume. Including expert opinion and a bit of research on its efficiency.
