Mr Benjamin Lamb. Retzius Sparing Robotically Assisted Prostatectomy with NeuroSAFE. This is my second review of Mr Lamb. The first focussed on his first class aporoach to patient care. This time I want to focus on his expertise and surgical skill. I am 71 years old, fit but slightly overweight. A layman's review. Retzius Sparing: A technique that protects and preserves the nerves surrounding the prostate. In my case the nerves on both sides were fully preserved. At the time of catheter removal seven days post surgery I had been peeing normally for three days. At catheter removal I was delighted to continue as normal, no leakage, no incontinence. Robotically Assisted: I honestly thought the bruising and damage created during this procedure would cause discomfort for quite sometime, but, eight days post op I have no discomfort, the surgical wounds are healing nicely and I am Walking two miles a day. All testimony to the care and surgical technique adopted by Mr Lamb. NeuroSAFE: A technique where tissue is sent to the path lab for testing during surgery to check for cancer at the edges of the surgical site. This allows Mr Lamb, in real time, to either close the procedure or continue shaving tissue at the edge until the lab reports no further cancer cells. Thus I awoke to the knowledge that all the cancer had been removed. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Lamb for his expertise and patient care.
