"I’m a 49 years old male who was diagnosed with BPH three years earlier. I underwent Green Laser Prostate Surgery to improve my quality of life and to eliminate the BPH symptoms. I suffered a severe urethral stricture due to the improper use of the laser scope that damaged my anterior urethra. I was advised to conduct balloon catheter dilations and went for the first session which failed miserably due to the severity of the stricture. I decided to a surgeon at South Shore Hospital to obtain a second opinion. South Shore Hospital Urology Surgeon opinion was to have a urethrotomy and then be trained on self-catheterization until further notice. I did not think that was a practical solution. I was connected through a friend to an experienced Urological surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts. I spoke to the surgeon on the phone and he stated that I need reconstructive emergency surgery and took it upon himself to connect me with DR Alex Vanni at Lahey Hospital, ...
Burlington, Massachusetts. DR Vanni is a specialist in reconstructive Urological Surgery and has superior talent and skill in performing corrective surgery. I was at the lowest point in my life psychologically and was very desperate at that point. The staff at Lahey Urology Department was unbelievable and very professional. Dr Vanni conducted a urine flow gram, an ultrasound, and a Retrograde Urethrogram and was able to diagnose the location and the length of the stricture. I cannot even describe the pleasant personality and the professionalism that I experienced with DR Vanni. Immediately, the patient can notice how experienced and how knowledgeable Dr. Vanni is. Dr. Vanni then performed a urethroscope and was not able to go past the stricture also. Dr Vanni and his staff spent approximately one hour and forty five minutes with me conducting diagnostic testing to study my case. After finishing all the tests DR Vanni suggested that I undergo Anterior Anastomotic Urethroplasty to remove the stricture section in my urethra and reattach it together. I was very nervous at the time but Dr Vanni explained all the other options for me and explained the risks associated with the procedure. I went for the procedure knowing that Im risking either becoming incontinent at a very young age or have erectile dysfunction at 50. Unlike all the other Surgeons that I have seen, I felt that I’m definitely in good hands with Dr. Vanni. I left the hospital with stitched between my legs expecting a lot of bleeding and pain. I stayed home for two weeks with a catheter inserted but did not feel any pain, and to my surprise without a single drop of blood on my wound dressing. I inspected the incision a week later and was barely able to notice a scar there. At the two weeks period, I went to Lahey Hospital and had the catheter removed and was able to urinate with a normal flow rate immediately. I left the hospital and drove all the way to Plymouth and it was eight hours before I felt the need to urinate. It has been seven months since I had the surgery with Dr Vanni, Im happy to say that my flow is normal and my urges completely disappeared. I don’t wake up to urinate at night and I have no leakage or sexual dysfunction issues at all. Dr. Vanni was really there for me at the lowest points in my life and he literally gave me a new fresh chance at living a good quality life at the age of 50. Don’t bother seeing anyone else if you have similar issues, go straight to Dr. Alex Vanni at Lahey Hospital in Burlington Massachusetts. Dr. Vanni is an artist and a master at performing reconstructive surgery but he is even better at performing the initial surgeries himself instead of fixing mistakes committed by other surgeons. "
