The whole prostate become one thick mess that is hard to peal from urethra and remove. It is very rarely done - we never had here patient who went through that procedure - do you know of any , maybe there were some before I came here ? I know about results ( permanent incontinence and ED) because I read about it in some papers. It is very complex and high risk procedure since other tissues around are also damaged by radiation and surgery can cause serious scaring, damage to rectum and non-healing wounds, etc.

Not really heard much about salvage surgery.

Looking into it, I see the numbers are not great, as you mention.

When I looked into it, I noticed a wide range percentages of problems with ED and incontinent. I wonder if finding a surgeon that is really experienced in doing it can make a difference.
