Radical Prostatectomy

Posted By Jeff on June 27, 1998 at 06:31:38:







I am 46 years old and was recently diagnosed with prostrate cancer.  It appears the cancer is at an early stage. After consultation with my urologist and much research I've come to the conclusion that the appropriate treatment for me is a radical prostatectomy.
I have learned in my research that the skill and experience of the surgeon is an important factor in the long-term success of such an operation.
My questions are:
Is there a source(s) I can use to learn about the experience and success rate of urologists in my area without having to personally interview doctors?  Does Henry Ford have information it can provide to me about urologists affiliated with its organization?
