I opted for the DaVinci surgery. One night in the hospital and you go home. The catheter bag is a PITA but what a relief when they pull it out. I felt fine and went back to work after 2 weeks, that was a mistake. I recommend that you take at least 4 weeks off to heal. Incontinence was bad at first, I had leakage for 6 months. ED is permanant, they said I could try Viagra or Cialis but I'm divorced and don't date much so I have accepted it. They say it is not hereditary, but it is prevalent amongst brothers. Sure enough, one of my brothers was diagnosed a few months after I was! Good news is 2 years later we are both healthy and enjoying our families. Get your PSA checked yearly guys, mine went from 3 to 19 in one year, I'd probably be dead by now without the warning.
