Thank you for your time and answering these Questions..

1) What are the downfalls of taking the prostate out?
The risks of minimally invasive radical prostatectomy include cardiovascular complications, conversion to open surgery, infection such as urinary tract infection, infertility, injury to adjacent organs, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, peri-operative pain, scarring at the bladder neck, and treatment failure.
Wow, That's scarry (Risks)..what percent would you say of getting these down falls if the person is fit that goes through the minimally invasive radical prostatectomy and does all post treatment to the tee?
I was reading your questions on erection recovery etc. Just wanted to let you know that I asked exactly the same questions to Christopher Eden in the UK, and he told me at age 37 assuming normal erectile function & healthy lifestyle pre-surgery, that I would have a more than 90% chance of regaining erectile function with or without pills-meaning a 45% chance of needing Viagra or similar and a 45% chance of not needing any help at all.
Permanent incontinence was even less to worry about, with an above 99% of being fully continent.
I was thinking even if Viagra was needed it would be a small price to pay for being permanently pain free, not needing painkillers & prostatitis treatments anymore along with the knowledge that you would never suffer from BPH or cancer later on. Obviously if you already have children, or never plan to have any then infertility from no ejaculate wont be an issue.
