Dr. M. Hytham Beck answered

Specializes in Surgery

Many: your main question is how the surgery is done and is it going to effect your chance of having erection again and what is the chance of stricture in the urethra that could be trouble some and give you hard time to empty the bladder and what is the chance on incontinence which mean your ability to control your urine good luck
