I also had RP w/radiation in 2015. The RP was easy enough but the radiation was rough. Had a restriction in 2019 and 2022 that they tried balloon with a catheter but, then came back. In May 2024 I had Dr. Z at NYU do restriction surgery. He used a slice of my inner cheek to graft and replaced it with fish scales. Up until then, no incontinence. Since that day full incontinence. Dr. Z suggested ProAct to address the incontinence. My restriction came back now so, I sought a second NYU opinion with DR. M who suggested AUS.
So, now I have another restriction that has to be fixed and, full incontinence which has to be fixed.

WTF??? How many freakin times can you go thru this?
I’ve read that there are stents inserted in certain cases of BPH. Yours is more serious of course, but is there anything along those lines to keep the urethra open?
