Prostatectomy: You need to ask everything about the surgery-- how the procedure will be done ( robotic?); the succesful rate of surgery? What are the risks, possible complictaions/side effects related to surgery ( problem with urination; impotent risk, bleeding , pain, etc); you also need to know what is the step after you have surgery?
