Patients with longstanding obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) can also develop symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and Transurethral Waterjet Ablation of the Prostate (Aquablation) are amongst the gold standard surgical treatments for BPH. However, in the immediate post-operative period, TURP and Aquablation can also include OAB-like symptoms, including urinary frequency and urgency. For men with baseline OAB symptoms, this initial worsening of symptoms can be distressing. Botox is an FDA approved medication with on-label indications to treat overactive bladder. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of men who have Botox concurrent with their TURP or Aquablation.

* 1 week post-operative visit for: trial of void, to assess for rates of postoperative urinary retention. * 4 and 12 week post-operative visits for: post void residual assessment via bladder scan, AUA symptom score, PGI-I, UDI-6, and VM Post Procedure questionnaires will be administered * Hospitalization readmission rates, urinary retention episodes will also be recorded.

RECRUITINGTo identify whether concurrent Botox and TURP or Aquablation are effective at reducing post-operative irritative voiding symptoms.
This will be measured using Postoperative Urinary Retention (POUR): At 1 week post-operative visit for trial of void to assess for rates of postoperative urinary retention. At 4 and 12 week post-operative visits for post void residual assessment
Time frame: 4 months
To identify whether concurrent Botox and TURP or Aquablation lead to longer hospitalizations.
Analyzing admission data to determine if there are any changes to the hospital admission rates.
