It's hard to ask the tough questions, but you really should if it's a
concern for you.  How many surgeries has your surgeon done with the
DaVinci?  How many laparoscopic surgeries?  Where did they learn to do
it?  What problems have they encountered, or what mistakes have they
made?  (And yes, I did ask my doctor those questions, and was pleased
to find that he hadanticipated my doing so and was ready with honest
answers).

If you've covered those things with your surgeon and you're still
uncomfortable ... I just went online and found an article on some of
the doctors in Honolulu who do prostate surgery; it looks like there
are several who do open and laparoscopic procedures.   You have some
choices.  And the time to choose wisely.
