What happens to our previously attached sex nerves after radical prostetectomy?

Why should you expect me “for sure” to answer your doubt? You could well investigate the matter and share the details you found with all of us.

What I was told by one doctor in my team of surgeons (year 2000) is that, after dissecting, the loosed “parts” (nerves, portion of lymph’s, vas deferens, etc) are left as cut, and the voids will be filled with viscous connective tissue such as fat. This tissue will be purposely “manufactured” conveniently to support the organs. Sperm will continue to flow into the void and then is drained together with the “little bits” not needed, out of the body through the lymphatic system. Here you got descriptions about tissues;

Swing’s opinion may be a justified explanation but it deviates from your main theme and disguises the benefits of the Nerve-sparing Technique (NsT) you have chosen. My experience from the radical prostatectomy is not very rosy. I got a shorter penis plus erectile dysfunction and continued progression of the disease, but I am continent since the day they withdrawn the catheter. The penis retracts into its “capsule” for being shorter (the cross-section length of dissected prostate) but it can be pulled out to a certain extent. These outcomes are common whenever the surgery includes or not the so called “nerve spare technique” (NsT).

The naming of this RP method also has a commercial content to revel Dr. Patrick Walsh superiority (claimed to be the “inventor” at Johns’ Hopkins) among other fellow urologists. However, the real scope of the NsT obscures the meaning making the radical as permanence.
In fact the outcome of prostatectomies is similar. The difference in “with” or “without” NsT is the length of the period it takes to reach the best performance in erection levels. NsT has a shorter period but not exactly a better erection. In the long run the radical method (no sparing technique) will achieve the same level. Here is a link to the "begining" of NsT and its conclusive trials;

The human body, even without a wireless capability (Wi-Fi), got its nerve system prepared to find substitute routes to accomplish the original signalling pathway. This will interfere to certain extent with other localized functions such as the ones that control urination. Some guys may feel the need to void more frequently, or we disgustedly may urinate at the climax when having sex. 

The autonomic nerve bundle in organs that command the visceral muscle tissue (part of the ones saved at NsT) controls the muscle for erections that is located next to the prostate. Another provides the stimulus that will unchain a series of events such as the “flush” of blood supply to the zone. If this muscle is dissected by the surgeon, then one may lose the capability or will take longer to return to the original status (never to the 100% mark). I manage to have "low standards" erections and am enjoying sex as before. Sometimes I wonder if my wife feels the same.

Radical radiation therapy also got its pitfalls. It also may cause ED and Incontinence but not “shorter penis” or voids to fill up. The typical prevalent side effects are bladder cystitis, urethra scares, proctitis and colitis. Nasty cases from RT are usually in cases of treatment done in patients that have not been previously checked or diagnosed with existing ulcerative colitis. These group should never be recommended RT. 

I am glad to know about your continuing ZEROS and Good Performance.    Best wishes in your future journey.

Let’s get drunk. Where is the bottle?
