@jeffmarc Hi Jeff, My wife and I have spoken to UCSF, and our impression was that the surgeons do just SA-RSRP. Can you give me a name of a surgeon at UCSF? Is there a rule about not identifying specific doctors on this forum? Thanks for the support!

Hi, I believe this is called a dorsal hood approach, and the doctor at UCSF we are consulting with does this. His recommendation to us is 'robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (single port daVinci robot) and he is a potential candidate for nerve sparing (dorsal hood approach)'. We are also considering EBRT, without ADT, because he is intermediate risk with a low Decipher score.
