How is the gland itself removed via robotic surgery?

Is it sliced and diced or sqeezed whole through one of the portal holes?

Not sqeemish at all, it doesnt come up. My buddy had been diagnosed PCa a year ago last December, he had robotic four months later but can't remember if they sliced and diced or simply sqeezed it out a hole. I'll tell him to look in his navel, remove the lint and see what's there. I was diagnosed a year after him, had open surgery, one margin, just finished 36 Rad's last Friday.

Not disabilty WG, claim disfigurement!!

I think my 8" scar is kinda cool, really stands out in the summer! I didnt want to do robotic for a couple reasons and I'm calm with my chioce. Hopefully the Rad was completely unnecessary. 

Geezer, I once met Linda Lovelace ---- pity I'd not known about the workman's compensation ED possibilities back then, I might have asked for a bit part to establish my credentials. Geeesh. Talk about performance anxiety. All those lights, cameramen, and knowing I'd be "coming to a movie theater near by soon," and wondering if my maiden aunts might catch me on a trailer preview while attending a Disney movie.

Thanks Jerry, for that incredible film. It was the best I've ever seen and was fascinating to watch.
