almost 6 years agoLaparoscopic radical prostatectomy
Procedure or Surgery
I had a radical robotic prostatectomy which was successful. However the cancer was not confined to the prostate but was within the margins. One nerve bundle had to be removed which resulted in ED. I also have a minor in continence problem.
