Tuesday the 11th was a big day. After all the tests, procedures, a couple of prostate cancer cells, and an extremely large bladder diverticulum, I decided to have a robotic prostatectomy, and bladder diverticulotomy. My urologist indicated having them done at the same time was the best route to go forgoing another surgery to remove the diverticula. The surgery went well. I'm amazed at what can be done with 6 small incisions to remove various parts of your body. I now have a catheter for 2 weeks which is not easy to get use to. I have my follow up appointment at that time when the catheter is removed. I know I will be incontinent. Since I already have those kinds of issues, I'm pretty used to wearing diapers. My urologist indicated that there are some new drugs that may help a little. We will see. If any others on this forum have had similar experiences/surgeries any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
