Like mn281, I had mine done with the anterior hood technique in Rochester. I also had some minor incontinence, but that was over by 8 weeks. Results with the anterior hood technique vs true Retzuis-sparing (posterior) seem to be similar. The posterior approach is more difficult to perform, so make sure you find someone who’s done it a lot. Also, I don’t think it can be done extraperitoneally. Mine was done extraperitoneally with a single-port robot, and the recovery was quite easy.
