After my first PVP, My surgeon couldn't even catheterize me to do urodynamic
testing - before my 2nd PVP. He didn't know why it didn't get in the
bladder, though he tried about 4 or 5 different catheters. [He even tried
unsuccessfully to thread it in with a cystoscope]. I haven't tried since my
second PVP (Dec. '03). An unsolved mystery.
