The kegels are really important, but also a surgeon who specializes in nerve avoidance is critical. These nerves around the prostate control bladder function, blood flow to penis etc. Taking special care during surgery can minimize the risks post surgery.

Some of us weren't able to enjoy the benefits of nerve sparing however in my case, I do have "mostly" bladder control with leakage only after a certain amount of urine built up in the bladder. So obviously *SOME* percentage of musculature is working!

My husband has surgery scheduled with a top nerve sparing surgeon. Fingers crossed.
