I had Radical in 1989 by Dr Patrick Walsh @ John’s Hopkins.
Dr Walsh is the Dr that came up with the nerve sparing Radical Prostatectomy.
I have no incontinence but had to have a penal implant for ED
I SPENT 8 days in the hospital. Walsh was a very arrogant man and he never supplied me with after surgery rehab info.
I spent 11 years using pump and Caverject for sex. Finally I had the penal implant. Not impressed with it. I should have stayed with injections.
I alive after 36 years. For that I am thankful.
Prostate CA is wicked. You have to MAN UP in order to live with it.
I am so happy for the men who end up with no ED or in continence.

My wife’s best friend’s husband had surgery by Doctor Walsh in 2001.
To say he is unhappy with the result is really downplaying it. He is furious.
He was an OB/GYN in Los Angeles. He searched all over the country and found Dr. Walsh who said that he could spare the nerves and he went to him to get that surgery.
As a Doctor he has reviewed surgery notes from doctors for decades. Frequently the surgery notes can be up to 10 pages in length.
When the surgery was complete, he found out that’s the nerves were not spared and when he asked to see the surgery notes, he was given a half page explanation of what happened. It had no useful information. Talking to the doctor was impossible, he was so arrogant.
He suspects the surgery was done by an intern with the doctor watching.
He is 90 now and has a 77 year old wife. He has had ED since the surgery, something he flew across the country to try to prevent.
After the surgery was complete, he was told that his Gleason scores was a very low 3+3. He should never have had surgery.
Dr. Walsh promised a lot and came up with nothing. It sounds like the same thing happened to you with nerve sparing failing.

What issues have you found with the penile implant? Reports claim that it is very high satisfaction rates over 85%. When the Mayo doctor did the monthly talk about it, he said the same thing about the satisfaction rates.
Would definitely be interested in knowing what is the problem with it.
