Prostate cancer expert, Dr. David Samadi, outlines the intricacy of safely removing a cancerous prostate. A walnut-size organ, the prostate gland, is attached to both the bladder and the urethra, just above the rectum. As he explains in a humorous way, removing the prostate must be done with the highest level of expertise and the greatest care in order to spare the surrounding nerve bundles. These tiny nerves are critical to preserving sexual performance after prostate cancer surgery.
