I had it removed in Topeka on April 30th and then they cut me open again on May 1 at 2AM as an artery was bleeding. Two surgeries in less than 12 hours. Then about a week later they said I had a TIA. Kind of a rough time. Then when he was removing the prostate the surgeon fixed an inguinal hernia that I had since late 1980s and didn't bother me and I didn't want messed with, but they didn't ask- he just put in a mesh. I did all kinds of heavy weight lifting, never bother me prior to surgery. I knew about it, myself and PCP said if not bothering me leave alone, it wasn't that bad. Now the mesh he put in seems to have come loose and I have a bulge in groin. Looks like another surgery in near future?

I did try KUMC at first and the urology surgeon just would not answer my questions, so after a couple weeks I came back to Topeka. The Topeka surgeon has lots of experience with robotic, was responsible for bringing it to Topeka. He had done a urolift on me a long time ago. Has done over 1,000 radical prostatectomy with the Da Vinci system. I was a little disappointed with KUMC as 2 years ago I had an aquablation and found out after surgery a resident did surgery- not my doctor! Also, it didn't work and the doctor who was suppose to do surgery in first place said I needed a revision, I just said no and used Flomax. So I wasn't too happy with the urology department at KUMC. The doctor that was suppose to do the aquablation and the cancer doctor that wouldn't communicate were 2 different doctors.
Now they did wonderful with my wife's breast surgery care, couldn't have been better. But that was a different section of hospital.
