I recently had a TURP procedure to remove a portion of an enlarged prostate. This procedure does not involve any incision or stitches, just hollowing it out from the inside. Has anyone had experience with this and how long should I wait to return to diving. Multiple Dr's in the practice have given me multiple answers (but none are divers themselves). TIA
 
As a physician I am unaware of any caveats vis-a-vis TURPs and diving? Will actively follow...
