I've had more of those than I can count. It's an outpatient procedure, takes less than an hour total.... 15 minutes for the local anesthetic to work, 15 minutes for the procedure, and then you clean up (clean off the lube, maybe take a pee, and get dressed). The procedure itself is rather uncomfortable, but not painful. It's easy to talk with the urologist during the procedure. When he's done, I ask him to mail me a copy of the report, so I can read it at my leisure and know all the technical info. I always take the day off work, as there may be some minor bleeding afterwards, and it's a good idea to take it easy during that time.
As far as cutting the prostate, and leaving a catheter in place for a few days... isn't that done under general anesthesia in a hospital, with an overnight stay?
