A member asked:
Is there any pain involved in a prostatectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Unfortunately all surgical procedures have pain associated with them. Both open and robotic approaches have some degree of pain though robotic has typically less. Fortunately, the pain is typically tolerable with either approach.
