I had great difficulty having my prostate removed robotically. The surgeon sure refused to deny it but I know he cut the pee tube too short when reconnecting it. I had pain so extreme that I could barely sit for months. Of course, he thought everything went smoothly. My penis shrank up as the tube was pulling itself back into place. Pretty graphic I know, but true. I had pain in the stomach, belly button, and where they removed the prostate. The catheter was very irritating and uncomfortable and even though it was painful, I could manage that part better. It's been 5 years since my operation. My numbers are 0. Praise God I still have some incontinence but if I pay close attention to how much caffeine I drink, I can minimize it. In hindsight, I'd do it again. The surgeon told me that mine was slow growing but added that at My age, if I didn't get it done, it would take me out. I was 56 years old at the time.

My recommendation to anyone getting this done is to sure you get a seasoned surgeon. Do your home work on the doctors experience and success rate. God bless
