I realize that things can go horribly wrong with any serious surgery, and that even successful surgeries have a certain percentage of negative permanent side effects (loss of sexual function, incontinence, etc.), but ultimately each person is going to have a different set of priorities. To me, the radical RALP plus suprapubic catheter would be worth a loss of sexual function and incontinence, and if the surgery results in my being in intolerable agony...well, there is always suicide as an option to relieve the pain.

Also, because I'm not good at all of self-inflicted ANY level of pain I don't support starting with the self-cath idea. Though it sounds good it's all in the execution.
