I probably got my letters crossed up. Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy (RALP) . I have had many say I was crazy for doing the surgery. Mayo clinic phoenix in 2019 did not take Medicare. They now take Medicare but not advantage plans. I went with a Banner network private practice surgeon that operates out of senior community. He was one of the few doing ultrasound treatment. I had to convince him to do removal. He seemed a good choice. I have since had Mayo review all his work. I felt I was also a good candidate. 6'2" 200# with a muscular build. No other issues. No ED issues. I have said on this site that my only regret would have been having the surgery at Mayo. I would most likely not change the decision. Pick a center of excellence. Not many Dr. are going to tell you they dont have confidence. You like me probably have a little time to make sure with a second opinion or third. I did not. I also decided not to cloud my mind. I wanted it gone. Never thinking that I could be one of the 15%.
