@rlpostrp My doctor also said he preserved all of my nerves...I never had incontinence but my surgery (not Da Vinci robotic) was January 2, 2020...almost 6 years ago and I still can't get an erection with getting a shot of BiMix, but it works, not perfectly but enough. I hope your situation improves more than mine...but I have no detection of caner with a PSA test every 4 months since my surgery and I can still hug my wife, my kids and my grand kids...I've tried to focus on the positive parts of my outcome...I'm alive an healthy still at 70 years old.

@onestepmore Incontinence is different and if is the main concern has a specialized surgery called “retzius-sparing” to minimize the risk.

If the main concern is ED, the specialized surgery is called “nerve-sparing” surgery. It’s different from standard surgery where they’ll make an attempt to save the nerves.
