No, I haven't heard from anyone. I may not see the surgeon until the day of surgery.
I have a feeling that robotic surgery is only done a private hospitals. Not sure.
I just hope that recovery isn't much different.

All I have to go on is:
"Peter has Gleason 4 + 3 prostate cancer. PSA 4.5 and bladder outflow obstruction. Hence he is not ideal candidate for radiation. We have placed him on the waitlist for a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy."

I had a laparoscopic robot assisted prostatectomy at Mayo in Rochester 18 months ago, on 3/21/2023. Surgery was 3 weeks after I talked with the surgeon. I was Gleason 3+4, with a small area of 3+5.
