Any surgery, "minor" or otherwise, always carries risks of complications or side effects. As a former gynecologist who performed sling procedures (albeit on women) I can attest that things can and do go wrong. You must be sure the benefit you might gain is worth the chance you'll be left with a different problem to deal with.

I'm now 11 months post prostatectomy. For the past six months, I've been using one light (#1j pad daily and am very happy to live with that forever given the spectrum of what it's like for those of us with prostate cancer. The pad is mainly for the post void drips which I sometimes have.
