What is a Prostatectomy Like?

I never did kagles Before or after surgery. 16 years ago, when I had the surgery, they never even discussed the issue. I had no incontinence after they took out the catheter. Results may vary.

@jeffmarc Agree that everybody is different.

Same - 12 years since surgery never a discussion of or performance of kagles, catheter was easy, no urinary problems (only problems I don't have though). Sorry to say after reading the incontinence probabilities from good old fashioned knife prostate, seminal vesical, and bladder neck lesion surgery I feel lucky. My surgeon was ecstatic that I didn't/don't leak or have problems.

I have problems with bowels with all the above plus 39 salvage and 2 photon treatments though.
