Thank you for your considerate reply. I emailed the USC Urology Dept today asking for an appointment. You mentioned Gill. I was trying to decide between him and Daneshmand (who claims to do more of these surgeries on the West Coast than anyone). Or possibly Boyd. But I would prefer robotics, and I am not sure either of them do that.
As for other options, if you are referring to reconstruction alternatives, I have decided the risks are not worth it to me. I am 80, and although in generally good health, my body parts will only wear out in the next few years. I don't want to live in fear that I might need to use catheters, etc.
If you have any additional advice about surgeons at USC, I will appreciate it.
Thanks again
