My screenings before were 4+4 and 15 PSA.
Removed prostate ( local malignant) and benign limp nodes. No damage to nerves.
Catheter is a bit uncomfortable but manageable. 6 Laparoscopic incisions. All good for now. Follow up January 6 th.

Congratulations on your successful RALP. Sounds like you're doing great. I had mine in August 2022. Best wishes for a Healthy New Year.

@davidbrandi01, how was your follow-up appointment? How is recovery going? What tips would you offer others about to have surgery?
