ED after radical prostatectomy

[Guest guest]

Just saw my urologist about a radical prostatectomy. I have one positive core at the apex of the prostate with a Gleason 3+3 and a PSA of 4. I am 61 years old and in good health with normal sexual function.

The doctor stated he performs about

50 radical prostatectomy a year all using the da Vinci robot. Per the doctor, I have a 50% chance of long term ED after the surgery. Viagra will reduce the long term ED from 50% to 30%.

These numbers seem low compared to the best surgeons in the country. If you have any information, please share.
