I had my robotic surgery done 3 years ago.It was an outpatient visit.The surgeon removed the prostate and seminal vesicles as well as a few lymph nodes.Post op I was left with a very small penis and pathologist found that the cancer was beyond the prostate bed.I was put on ADT and have been on these meds ever since with their particular side effects.If I had to do it again I may have gone with brachytherapy.If the cancer is removed entirely then maybe robotic surgery is best.I’m disappointed with the resulting vestigial penis.I guess this is a male vanity thing.Hope this helps.Good luck!

Starman -- I have the same issue. I found using a vacuum pump helps with length.
