I had robotic - assisted radical prostate surgery on June 6, 2022. It was at a Yale-New Haven affiliated hospital. The surgeon and I rarely communicated, but I guess he knew what he was doing. I just had my PSA level tested and it was .08. So far so good.
As most of the men posting here, I pissed blood and urine in copious amounts during the first month after surgery. My wooden bedroom floor is still stained with blood and urine streaks. I am still incontinent. But I usually wake up in time to make it to the bathroom. Despite that, I still have a few of those pink plastic hospital pitchers by my bed.
I use about 1 padded brief a day. I am 70 years old and retired so some days I simply stay naked. (My 5 cats don't care!) Other days I may need to wash and put on a clean one twice.
I use:
Amazon Basics Incontinence Underwear for Men, Maximum Absorbency, 2X-Large, 42 Count, 3 Packs of 14 (Previously Solimo)Amazon Basics Incontinence Underwear for Men, Maxim…
$36.32($0.86/Count)

I had robotic surgery ( robotic prostectomy) in Brisbane at the Wesley, two years ago, July 2021. I was 69 at the time. Everything went very well and after 4 months it has settled down and I have had zero subsequent side effects.
I was relatively fit for the operation, for a 69 year old. My BMI was 26.
