Hi. I'm new to the forum. My husband has been diagnosed with prostate cancer gleason score 7 (4+3) which is intermediate. He also has chronic kidney disease ckd3b with gfr of 44 following a kidney removal in Dec 2021 due to cancer. He has the option of prostate removal by the da Vinci robot but my concern is that because of his CKD he is viewed as being 5 x time at greater risk of acute kidney injury, which worse case could lead to a worse ckd stage or even having to go on dialysis. Even death. He's also 76 but Is reasonably healthy and dances for 4 hours per week plus other activities. Is there anyone on here that has had the robotic surgery with CKD? And come out the other side without regrets at a later date?
