The Board has determined that the veteran's transurethral resection of the prostrate with penile implant is not related to service and therefore denied his claim for service connection.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence linking the current disability to service, including a lack of medical nexus between the claimed condition and service or post-service treatment.
