Nerve sparing and continence.

My Urologist is saying he may not be able to save the nerves on the right side. But should be able to spare the left.

Do you know anything about Retzius sparing?

Retzius sparing improved the probability of full continence earlier. There is another thread on Mayo Connect that included this discussion. The following is a Weill Cornell discussion of the technique (https://youtu.be/d57oum9s_7Q?si=tjWnJvBmZ6GN0Xje).

Not all surgeons use the is technique, so it is important to request a surgeon with expertise in this technique. However, this technique and the improved results are specific to continence; not ED.

There are others that have participated in this forum who had only one side nerve spared due to the same issue, so hopefully they see your post and respond.
