Complications for RALP surgeon
My RALP surgery is schedule for a little less than 4 weeks away. I have been told that there are two complications that he is expecting.
1. My prostate is stuck to my rectum. He said that it will be a very delicate process to seperate them.
2. My bladder is somewhat smaller than normal and the neck of the bladder is stretched. He said that it will be a complicated process to narrow the bladder neck and reattach it to the urethra so that it doesn't leak.
He has also said that he expects my surgery to take at least 4 hours.
Have any of you had either/both of these situations?
