@tom86 Interesting. I kind of understand their position but that also seems pretty rigid. Regardless, I sure am glad that the urologist who did my RARP was “old school”. And btw, he was one of the founders of The Urology Center of Colorado, which at the time was a top center in the Denver metro (has since been acquired by Advent Health System). He was also one of the first urologists in the Denver metro to use the DaVinci robot and trained many surgeons on the machine. I still be with him if he hadn’t retired.
At least you got clarity on the Stanford protocols.

@melvinw
Protocol doesn't seem to change on a whim. Seems they need years of data, documentation, confirmation, consultations, research, etc. to make any real changes that may make a difference.
As with so many things going on. Men's real life experience is all I need to question, how many more thousands of men with these same testimonials that do not make it to this site have the same story. Also wonder if a simple DRE could make the difference for many. Wonder if any physicians take notice of these postings.
