@tattodice glad to hear things worked out for you.
I’m having trouble trying to figure out what facilities offer the best nerve sparring options like Retzius.
Were you in a similar situation of just happen to already be involved with a facility that offered this?

Kind of an interesting story. I work for a physical therapy company in Indiana. There was a urologist, Colin Linke MD, who sent us a lot of referrals for pelvic floor therapy. Then he left the health system that had employed him and opened an independent practice an hour south of Fort Wayne to ride out a non-compete. A year later I found out he was returning to establish his practice here in November 2025. I was somewhat aware of his expertise in this area. My primary care doc referred me to urology based on elevated PSA a couple weeks before he opened his doors. I got on his schedule and was one of his first patients. Great guy! I know a lot of physicians as I call on them in my work. He struck me as unique and I could not deny that our meeting was fortuitous, an orchestration by God. Very grateful to him and to Him!

Where are you located? I was a patient navigator at one point. Maybe I can help.

@ireland1964 The Retzius method reduces your chance and/or duration of incontinence after surgery. Most RP methods can do nerve sparing, even the ones that leave you in Depends.
