My prostatectomy was performed at UCHealth Highlands Ranch in Colorado.

My situation, like everyone's, may be different than yours, and this may have changed the outcome:

- Younger than many men who get PC at just 54
- Almost complete nerve sparing surgery
- Lymph nodes spared
- Three months of significant fitness training by a personal trainer with emphasis on pelvic floor and core strength BEFORE surgery
- Three months of pelvic floor therapy by a doctor to ensure I was making progress BEFORE surgery
- 5mg tadalafil (Cialis) and l-citrulline (natural supplement extracted from grapefruit) for a month before surgery, both effective to keep your nerve bundles firing and recovering faster, despite no history of previous ED
- Non-standard procedure during surgery called anterior urethropexy, which is usually only done once you have a history of stress incontinence (and in fact my insurance refused to cover it because there was no history) but that has proven 95%+ effective for stress incontinence and helps with general incontinence as well

This is all to say that I went straight to work when I got the news to control the only things within my control and worked very hard to get what I assumed was maybe a few percentage points better chances at continence and erectile function. I felt very good that incontinence would be a non-issue for me, but ED was still a concern - however pelvic floor can help with that as well so long as you do have some nerves spared during surgery.

Three days before surgery, my pelvic floor therapist commented that I had one of the healthiest and strongest pelvic floors she had worked with and wished more men would take the routes that I did before surgery rather than seeing her only after there is a problem to fix.

I hope that helps!

I had it done in Lee county Florida by Dr Kline best surgeon ever. I doing great after one year of prostate removal
