November 19, 2004
LOS ANGELES — UCLA Anderson School of Management's faculty continue to be rated among the best and the brightest in the world. In BusinessWeek's recently released 2004 biennial rankings of MBA programs, UCLA Anderson's professors were rated number one. The rating is based on BusinessWeek's intellectual capital poll, which tallies academic journal entries among 18 scholarly publications.
Publications that BusinessWeek surveyed for the intellectual capital ranking include such journals as: Journal of Accounting and Economics, Journal of Finance, Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Marketing, Operations Research, Academy of Management Review, Management Science, Journal of Financial Economics, Journal on Computing, Journal of Financial Studies, Journal of Marketing Research, Strategic Management Journal and Harvard Business Review, among others.
"Taking the top rank in the intellectual capital poll is another accomplishment in UCLA Anderson's growing reputation," said Professor Rakesh Sarin, senior associate dean and faculty chair of UCLA Anderson School of Management. "This rating is a measure of our outstanding faculty's research output—both in quantity and quality across all the academic disciplines in management education."
The mainstay of UCLA Anderson's high-quality management education programs is its esteemed faculty. Each year UCLA Anderson faculty members demonstrate the caliber of their intellectual abilities by publishing groundbreaking research in leading scholarly journals. Time and again, they are rated highly for their research productivity, as evidenced not only by key business school rankings and citation studies, but also by the scholarly awards they receive.
The success that UCLA Anderson faculty achieve through their research and scholarship sets the stage for the curriculum they create and implement in the classroom. The efforts of the faculty help create enduring value of UCLA Anderson MBA and doctoral degrees—which, in turn, helps our graduates achieve continual success in business and academia.
"Our consistent ability to attract the top students in our MBA and Ph.D. programs is, in large part, driven by access to gifted faculty who are on the leading edge of knowledge in their fields and who incorporate current research into a rigorous curriculum," said Bruce G. Willison, dean of UCLA Anderson School of Management.
In addition to their rank in BusinessWeek, our faculty have consistently placed in the top 10 in intellectual capital in the Financial Times' annual surveys of MBA and Executive MBA programs. Additionally in U.S.News &World Report's annual survey of business schools, our peer business schools rate UCLA Anderson in the top 10 in the following academic and specialty areas:
Finance - 8th
Marketing - 8th
International - 9th
Production/Operations - 9th
Entrepreneurship - 10th
Nonprofit - 10th
UCLA Anderson also placed well in some other specialty areas surveyed by U.S.News & World Report:
Supply Chain/Logistics - 11th
Management - 15th
Accounting - 24th
Information Systems - 26th
Further evidence of UCLA Anderson faculty's intellectual capital strength comes from a 2003 citation study conducted by Academic Assessment Services, which found that UCLA Anderson School of Management was among five U.S. universities whose faculties ranked among the top 30 in all eight academic disciplines. These schools were, in alphabetical order, Chicago, Harvard, MIT, Stanford and UCLA. UCLA Anderson ranked in the Top 10 in five of the eight academic areas:
2nd in Management Science
4th in Economics
4th in Finance
8th in Information Systems
10th in Strategy
UCLA Anderson School faculty also ranked in the following disciplines:
13th in Marketing
17th in Organizational Behavior
22nd in Accounting
The Academic Assessment Services study recorded nearly 1.5 million citations to measure research productivity of the 4,918 full-time faculty members with doctoral degrees at 51 leading U.S. business schools. These schools had been included at least once in the 25 most recent ranking lists produced by three major business publications.
Another key proof point is a December 2002 study in OR/MS magazine, which established that UCLA Anderson ranked third in the world among business schools for research and publication productivity in the areas of information systems, information technology and operations research. The study examined research output in four key journals of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) from 1990 through 2002:
- Management Science
- Information Systems Research
- Operations Research
- INFORMS Journal on Computing
UCLA Anderson faculty expertise lies in a number of fundamental management disciplines, which are divided in the following academic areas:
Decisions, Operations and Technology Management
Global Economics and Management
Human Resources and Organizational Behavior
Information Systems

This is a fantastic spring or summer soup, light enough for a sunny day! Ribollita literally translates to reboiled and is a classic example of cucina povera, Italian peasant cooking, using stale bread, beans & seasonal vegetables.
Ribollita Recipeserves 4
2 carrots, diced
1 stalk of celery, diced
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup of peas (if available)
small bunch of asparagus (if available)
1/2 cup of beans of your choice (we use & grow borlotti or cranberry beans), soaked over night, drained or fresh
1 bunch greens of your choice, washed well & chopped into manageable pieces (we use & grow bietola): cavolo nero, kale, chard, etc
5-7 cups of chicken stalk (vegetarian alternative: vegetable stalk or water)
1 tomato
bay leaf
chili flakes
couple cloves of garlic
salt & pepper
olive oil
1 small can of chopped tomatoes/couple of fresh tomatoes
2 handfuls of the inside (guts) of stale bread, broken into pieces, crust removed
good extra virgin olive oil for topping
In a pot, add beans, bay leaf, and your vegetable scraps -carrot peals, celery tops, onion skins, squished tomato, etc. Cover the beans with plenty of water (a few inches above the beans).
Bring to a boil, lower to simmer for 30-40 minutes until tender (time varies depending on your beans). Strain beans, saving the cooking water for later. Remove the aromatics from the beans.
Next in a soup pot, add carrots, celery, onion and slowly sauteed in a few glugs of olive oil for 10-15 minutes with OUT color.
Season with salt & pepper.
Add your canned tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes on low heat. Add stock with some of the bean water. Bring up to a simmer. Add greens to your pot, wilting into the soup. Cook for 5-10 minutes, depending the toughness of your greens.
Once greens are soft, add in your beans & bread, one handful at a time.
Season with salt & pepper. Bread should dissolve, creating a velvety texture. Not a thick bread soup. Allow to cook for another 5-10 minutes. Taste check & adjust your seasonings.
Serve with a healthy drizzle of the best extra virgin olive oil you have and a ribbon of parmesan.

Setting Up Your iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad) Device
Note: These instructions were designed with an iPhone in mind, but should be almost identical to the setup for an iPod Touch or iPad.
Connecting to the Network
Begin by selecting the Settings app from your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad applications, and go to your WiFi settings.
We recommend that all Reed students, faculty, and staff use Reed1x as their WiFi access point. This is an encrypted network with greater security and more access for administrative users.
- Upon selecting Reed1x from the list of WiFi networks, you will be prompted to enter your Kerberos username and password. Press the Join button in the top right corner afterwards to continue.
- You will be prompted to accept an unknown security certificate. This is OK- go ahead and do so.
- You are now connected! How easy was that?
You can use our other SSID, ReedXenia, as an alternative if Reed1x gives you issues or if you are a visitor or conference attendee.
When you try to connect to any website for the first time, you'll be automatically redirected to Reed's Network Registration page. You should see the following page:
Simply follow the instructions to get connected to the network.
Setting Up Reed Email
- Begin by navigating to the Settings app on your device.
- Next, navigate to the Mail, Contacts and Calendar tab:
- Now it's time to add your account:
- Choose the "Google" option:
- Now it's time to enter your Reed account information. Use your Reed email address (email@example.com) and your Kerberos password, just as it looks below, and then hit the blue Next button in the top right corner:
- If all goes well, you should see a page similar to the one below. If you don't want to sync your Google Calendar and notes to your iPhone, you may turn those options off. Otherwise, just hit the blue Save button in the top right corner to finish!
Congratulations, you've set up Reed Webmail on your iOS device!
Setting up LDAP (Reed Directory) on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad
- On your iOS device, go to "Settings", then "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", then "Add Account...".
- Select "Other", then "Add LDAP Account".
- Fill in the settings as shown below, then click Next.
- Click "Add search settings..", then fill in the "base" textbox as shown below:
Congratulations, you've setup LDAP (Reed Directory) on your iOS device!
Contact the CUS Help Desk if you need assistance setting up your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad on the Reed network.


text:
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
Use the ldapsearch command to view all the object class definitions that currently exist in your directory schema.
The following command displays definitions for all object classes:
$ ldapsearch -T -b cn=schema "(objectclass=*)" objectClasses
The -T option prevents the ldapsearch command from folding LDIF lines, so you can more easily work with the output using commands such as grep or sed. If you then pipe the output of this command through the grep command, you can view only the user-defined extensions to directory schema. For example:
$ ldapsearch -T -b cn=schema "(objectclass=*)" objectClasses | grep "user defined" objectClasses: ( 188.8.131.52.5.6.8 NAME 'blogger' DESC 'Someone who has a blog' STRUCTURAL MAY blog X-ORIGIN 'user defined' ) $

This week
Splogging is the subject of the week:
"Splog Alert – Rootsfeed.com Violating Copyright" and "Rootsfeed Update" at Geneabloggers
"Splog Happens" at footnoteMaven
"Real GeneaBloggers don't SPLOG" at Dear Myrtle
"A Genealogy Splog" at Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter
"Really Simple Syndication – or Stealing?" at TransylvanianDutch
"RSS Feeds and Splogs – a legal view" at Genealogy's Star
and probably some others that I have missed.
The past year has been one during which many of our fellow GeneaBloggers have lost close family members. Cindy at Everything's Relative has written an extraordinary tribute to her father in "The First Father's Day."
Leah at The Internet Genealogist provides some helpful hints for genealogy searches at Archive.org in "Follow Friday: Archives.org Genealogy Sub-Categories."
Valerie at Begin with Craft provides an informative table on terms and prices for obtaining vital records in the southern states in "The Price of Research in the South."
There has been excellent coverage of the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree. This week Miriam at AnceStories wrote a post reviewing her experience there and outlining how she would approach her next convention in "Southern California Genealogical Society's 2010 Jamboree: The Conclusion." This post really hit home for me as I look forward to attending the FGS Conference.
At GeneaBloggers Thomas MacEntee has inaugurated a great new "theme" – "Open Thread Thursday" - with a timely topic in "Open Thread Thursday: Virtual Presentations."
Denise Levenick at The Family Curator has some great advice for her fellow genealogy bloggers in "Summer Survival Guide for Genealogy Bloggers – What is your Blog Doing for Summer Vacation?"
A fascinating online database is featured by Diane Haddad, the Genealogy Insider, in "Historical Photo Database Shows NYC's Lower East Side Tenements."
Bill West of West in New England has started a new blog of reflections on non-genealogy topics: East of the Sun, West of the Moon.
This week I started following these blogs:

A Sandwich a Day: Bratwurst in Pretzel Bun from Easy Tiger in Austin
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
It takes something extraordinary to drag me down to East Sixth Street, Austin's infamous nightlife strip frequented by drunk college students. My reward for surviving the onslaught of shot bars and frat boy hangouts was the bratwurst on pretzel bun ($8.00) at Easy Tiger, a combination beer garden and bake shop.
The sandwich is the ultimate representation of this unlikely but successful collaboration between Top Chef veteran Andrew Curren and baker David Norman. Curren turns out housemade cured meats and sausages complemented by Norman's artisan baguettes, pretzels, and pastries—and a visit becomes even more appealing given their extensive draught beer list.
Resist the temptation to stuff yourself with bread and beer cheese and save room for this sausage sandwich. The plump veal and pork sausage, subtly flavored with nutmeg, ground ginger, and black pepper, arrives cradled in a chewy pretzel-in-bun-form. It's topped with housemade sauerkraut and coarse mustard, the condiments adding tang and textural contrast. You can order one to go at the bake shop upstairs, but it's best enjoyed in Easy Tiger's charming outdoor beer garden (washed down with a cold craft beer, of course).

The United States Marine Corps was a military corps branch of the armed forces service of the United States of America, reporting to the US Department of the Navy.
The Marines were used as naval infantry, specializing in fighting on ships and conducting amphibious assaults, and coordinated air/land/sea assaults.
In 2364, the Q-entity took the form of a 1980s Marine captain to lecture Jean-Luc Picard on the barbarity of Human history. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")
Q's rank insignia were visible on his jacket, which appeared to be modern to the time the episode was filmed, in 1987.

In this South Texas stretch of mesquite trees and cactus, where the land is sometimes too dry to grow crops, the local aquifer is being strained in the search for oil.
The reason is hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a drilling process that requires massive amounts of water. "We just can't sustain it," Hugh Fitzsimons, a Dimmit County bison rancher who serves on the board of his local groundwater district, said last month as he drove his pickup down a dusty road.
From 2009 to 2012, water production from one well on his ranch fell by two-thirds, a problem Mr. Fitzsimons linked to nearby wells pumping water for fracking operations. A study commissioned by his groundwater district found that in a five-county area that includes Dimmit, fracking reduces the amount of water in the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer by the equivalent of one-third of the aquifer's recharge. Recharge means the amount of water an aquifer regains from precipitation and other factors.

The first competitor in a line of Kevlar-clad men and women stepped forward and pulled the trigger, aiming at a photo of a man holding a gun to a child�s head. After the target was hit, he ran on to the next station ready to take aim.
BAKER � The first competitor in a line of Kevlar-clad men and women stepped forward and pulled the trigger, aiming at a photo of a man holding a gun to a child�s head. After the target was hit, he ran on to the next station ready to take aim again.
Law enforcement agencies from across Northwest Florida gathered Thursday for the Deputy Tony Forgione Memorial SWAT Competition to test accuracy, timing and physical fitness.
�When the situation becomes much more than a patrol deputy can handle, that�s when they call SWAT,� said Lt. Michael Card with the Okaloosa County Sheriff�s Office�s SWAT team. �We have more training, more equipment, different weapons, and we deal with more hostile and violent people.�
See a photo gallery of the competition. >>
The SWAT teams paid a fee compete, and a raffle was held to raise money for Concerns for Police Survivors, a national group that assists families of fallen law officers.
The competition began with the shooting portion at K&M Shooting Range near Baker. The second day will test the team members� physical strengths at an obstacle course at Northwest Florida State College.
Snipers, rifles and pistols could be heard from hundreds of yards away as SWAT members shot at the targets, some of which were nearly 1,000 meters away.
The day began with a dedication to the namesake of the competition, Okaloosa Sheriff�s Deputy Tony Forgione, who was killed July 22, 2008, when responding to a barricaded Baker Act patient.
Forgione was the first Okaloosa sheriff�s deputy to be killed in the line of duty. He was a former member of the Fort Walton Beach Police SWAT and had been with the Sheriff�s Office for three years.
�This right here means a lot to me and my family,� said Joey Forgione, Tony Forgione�s brother and a former Niceville police officer. �He was on SWAT almost his whole career. What he loved most was the camaraderie between everyone.
�This is a brotherhood, there�s no doubt. When someone falls they never forget.�
I.D. Brewton, SWAT leader for the Santa Rosa County Sheriff�s Office, prepared Thursday to see some of his men compete for the first time. He said older team members participated when Hurlburt Field hosted a similar competition, but his small team also has members who have only trained a few times.
�I�ve been in this for 11 years, so I�ve got the bruises and scars from before, but some of these guys have no idea,� Brewton said. �This gives us extra training.�
Brewton said SWAT members practice about 20 hours a month. They are called to assist with search warrants, hostage situation, barricaded suspects and the like.
Okaloosa County Sheriff Larry Ashley spoke to the group of nearly 60 SWAT members. He said violence is at an ultimate high, especially against officers. So far this year, 41 officers in the United States have been killed in the line of duty.
�There are more Baker Acts, domestic violence cases and violent acts every day,� Ashley said. �You�re the sword authorities turn to when it all goes to crap. You are the ministers of good.�

I feel lucky, honored, somewhat overwhelmed by the chance to choose from two of the best business schools in the country (and dare I say, the world?).
I want to spend this post going over all of the musings I've had over where to go to business school.
Employer placement - 35%
People tell me not to pay too much attention to this, but we are all going to b-school to get a job, and everyone has told me that you should just go to the best business school you can. So with that, I would say that for most programs, Booth has slightly outshines Columbia on the margin. A few more Boothies get into the top consulting firms, and a few more Boothies end up in asset management and hedge funds. There are NYC-based companies that go to Booth to recruit not Columbia. The glaring exception is investment banking in New York City, where there probably is no better school than Columbia for sending kids to the bulge bracket banks. I'm not sure if I want to be an investment banker coming out of business school, but I can't discount it. Regardless, I'd give the advantage to Booth.
Columbia: 7/10; Booth: 8/10
"Prestige" - 5%
Now, some discussion on GMATClub has made mention of the prestige of the parent university. I think this is a pretty minor issue, but I will reluctantly discuss the prevailing opinion on this. The University of Chicago is great and is a powerhouse in economics and quantitative finance, but Columbia University's brand name is covered in centuries-old Ivy, even older than our country. Around the world, people know Columbia University, its single-digit undergraduate acceptance rate, President Obama, etc. Every year, people who don't get into Columbia call up the school and threaten to kill themselves (really). My parents have no idea what The University of Chicago is (not that this matters since I'm almost 26 and don't need to prove anything to them). Here, Columbia wins the battle.
Columbia: 9/10; Booth: 6/10
Academics - 20%
The two schools are actually quite different here. Booth has the flexible curriculum and Columbia has a very rigid Core. I would say that in both cases, the two reputation are blown out of proportion just a little. For example, at Booth although there is only one "required" class (LEAD), everyone still has to fulfill distribution requirements. And (as someone else put it on GMAT Club), I don't consider the option to take Accounting II vs. Accounting I to be all that "flexible". There are also a number of prerequisites that you need to fulfill at Booth or you can't bid for certain classes. You have to petition to waive those, and that doesn't happen too often.
At Columbia, you are able to test out of virtually every Core class if you have the background in it. That means you can skip Accounting, CorpFin, Stats, even things like Marketing and Strategic Management. So depending on your background, you can free up quite a bit of your first year. At both schools, your 2nd year is completely up to you, so that comparison is awash.
That being said, Booth (and the University of Chicago) are hell bent on maintaining this culture of an academic experience. You can take classes as hard or as easy as you want them to be. And especially in courses like finance (Booth's bread and butter), you won't get a better curriculum. Booth probably kicks Columbia's ass at analytical finance, despite Columbia's value investing program, which is exclusive and requires an application. For curricular and co-curricular academics, I really do have to give this to Booth.
Columbia: 7/10; Booth: 9/10
Location - 25%
New York vs. Chicago. This comparison is so lopsided it's almost senseless to write about. New York City is arguably the best city in the entire world. New York has it all - culture, food, public transportation, jobs, the list goes on. Sure, Chicago has all those things too, but just... a lot less of it (hey, someone had to say it). The only downside to NYC is cost, where NYC's cost of living is is probably something like 20-30% higher than Chicago's.
Columbia: 10/10; Booth: 7/10
Cost - 0%
Columbia gave me a scholarship. Not a huge scholarship, but enough for me to write about here. What this helps to do is cancel out any cost of living differences between the two schools, so this comparison is awash. No points to team Columbia or team Booth.
Columbia: 5/10; Booth: 5/10
Student body - 15%
I'm sure that between any two top programs, the students will be much more similar than they are different. That said, Booth does have a reputation for being more "nerdy" (probably stemming from its parent university's research focus), while CBS has the reputation for being cut-throat competitive: who can forget the mass e-mail from the Investment Banking Group after a recruiting event, asking 1st years to be more collaborative with each other and stop elbowing each other away from representatives and monopolizing their time? For anything anecdotal like this, I would say that the reputations are perpetuated by a loud minority, so I won't take it too much to heart.
However, I will say that Boothies have more fun and bond with each other more. This is probably due to almost all Boothies living in the same 1-km radius in the loop, at least in their first year, and most in one of 3-4 buildings. Sure, Columbia has the Sections breakdowns for Core classes, but I would say that Booth's flexible curriculum and residential proximity allows people to bond with each other more. I give the advantage to Booth.
Columbia: 7/10; Booth: 9/10
So what's the final tally?
Columbia: 7.85; Booth: 8.00
Well that doesn't help out much, does it?
A tough choice indeed. The R3 deposit for Chicago is due on May 30, and Columbia's second deposit is due June 1. So I have to make a choice fast. I'm leaning on one school, but I don't want to reveal that just yet.
Should I go with my gut? Should I go deeper in an analysis? Should I use the results poll that I put up on GMATClub (that has 36 votes for Columbia and 35 for Booth)? Stay tuned for my final decision.
More later.

Surgery for Prostate Cancer
Surgery is a common choice to try to cure prostate cancer if it is not thought to have spread outside the prostate gland.
The main type of surgery for prostate cancer is a radical prostatectomy. In this operation, the surgeon removes the entire prostate gland plus some of the tissue around it, including the seminal vesicles. A radical prostatectomy can be done in different ways.
Open approaches to radical prostatectomy
In the more traditional approach to doing a prostatectomy, the surgeon operates through a single long skin incision (cut) to remove the prostate and nearby tissues. This type of surgery, sometimes referred to as an open approach, is now done less often than in the past.
There are 2 main ways to do this operation.
Radical retropubic prostatectomy
For this operation, the surgeon makes an incision (cut) in your lower abdomen, from the belly button down to the pubic bone. You will either be under general anesthesia (asleep) or be given spinal or epidural anesthesia (numbing the lower half of the body) along with sedation during the surgery.
If there is a reasonable chance the cancer might have spread to nearby lymph nodes (based on your PSA level, prostate biopsy results, and other factors), the surgeon may also remove some of these lymph nodes at this time (known as a lymph node biopsy). The nodes are usually sent to the lab to see if they have cancer cells in them (it can take a few days to get results), but in some cases the nodes may be looked at during the surgery. If this is done and cancer cells are found in any of the nodes, the surgeon might not continue with the surgery. This is because it's unlikely that the cancer can be cured with surgery, and removing the prostate could lead to serious side effects.
After the surgery, while you are still under anesthesia, a catheter (thin, flexible tube) will be put in your penis to help drain your bladder. The catheter will usually stay in place for 1 to 2 weeks while you heal. You will be able to urinate on your own after the catheter is removed.
You will probably stay in the hospital for a few days after the surgery, and your activities will be limited for several weeks. The possible side effects of prostatectomy are described below.
Radical perineal prostatectomy
In this operation, the surgeon makes the cut (incision) in the skin between the anus and scrotum (the perineum), as shown in the picture above. This approach is used less often because it's more likely to lead to erection problems and because the nearby lymph nodes can't be removed. But it is often a shorter operation and might be an option if you aren't concerned about erections and you don't need lymph nodes removed. It also might be used if you have other medical conditions that make retropubic surgery difficult for you. It can be just as curative as the retropubic approach if done correctly. The perineal operation usually takes less time than the retropubic operation, and may result in less pain and an easier recovery afterward.
After the surgery, while you are still under anesthesia, a catheter will be put in your penis to help drain your bladder. The catheter usually stays in place for 1 to 2 weeks while you are healing. You will be able to urinate on your own after the catheter is removed.
You will probably stay in the hospital for a few days after the surgery, and your activities will be limited for several weeks. The possible side effects of prostatectomy are described below.
Laparoscopic approaches to radical prostatectomy
Laparoscopic approaches use several smaller incisions and special long surgical tools to remove the prostate. The surgeon either holds the tools directly, or uses a control panel to precisely move robotic arms that hold the tools. This approach to prostatectomy has become more common in recent years.
If you're thinking about treatment with laparoscopic surgery, it's important to understand what is known and what is not yet known about this approach. The most important factors are likely to be the skill and experience of your surgeon. If you decide that laparoscopic surgery is the right treatment for you, be sure to find a surgeon with a lot of experience.
Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy
For a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP), the surgeon inserts special long instruments through several small incisions to remove the prostate. One of the instruments has a small video camera on the end, which lets the surgeon see inside the body.
Laparoscopic prostatectomy has some advantages over open radical prostatectomy, including less blood loss and pain, shorter hospital stays (usually no more than a day), and faster recovery times (although the catheter will need to remain in the bladder for about the same amount of time).
In experienced hands, LRP appears to be as good as open radical prostatectomy, but we do not yet have long-term results from procedures done in the United States.
The rates of major side effects from LRP, such as erection problems and trouble holding urine (incontinence) seem to be about the same as for open prostatectomy. (These side effects are described below.) Recovery of bladder control may be delayed slightly with this approach.
Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy
In this approach, also known as robotic prostatectomy, the laparoscopic surgery is done using a robotic system. The surgeon sits at a control panel in the operating room and moves robotic arms to operate through several small incisions in the patient's abdomen.
Robotic prostatectomy has advantages over the open approach in terms of less pain, blood loss, and recovery time. But in terms of the side effects men are most concerned about, such as urinary or erection problems (described below), there doesn't seem to be a difference between robotic prostatectomy and other approaches.
For the surgeon, the robotic system may provide more maneuverability and more precision when moving the instruments than standard LRP. Still, the most important factor in the success of either type of laparoscopic surgery is the surgeon's experience and skill.
Risks and side effects of any type of radical prostatectomy
There are possible risks and side effects with any type of surgery for prostate cancer.
Risks of prostate surgery
The risks with any type of radical prostatectomy are much like those with any major surgery. Problems during or shortly after the operation can include:
- Reactions to anesthesia
- Bleeding from the surgery
- Blood clots in the legs or lungs
- Damage to nearby organs
- Infections at the surgery site.
Rarely, part of the intestine might be injured during surgery, which could lead to infections in the abdomen and might require more surgery to correct. Injuries to the intestines are more common with laparoscopic and robotic surgeries than with the open approach.
If lymph nodes are removed, a collection of lymph fluid (called a lymphocele) can form and may need to be drained.
In extremely rare cases, people die because of complications of this operation. Your risk depends, in part, on your overall health, your age, and the skill of your surgical team.
Side effects of prostate surgery
The major possible side effects of radical prostatectomy are urinary incontinence (being unable to control urine) and erectile dysfunction (impotence; problems getting or keeping erections). These side effects can also occur with other forms of prostate cancer treatment.
Urinary incontinence: You may not be able to control your urine or have leakage or dribbling. There are different levels of incontinence. Being incontinent can affect you not only physically but emotionally and socially as well. There are 3 major types of incontinence:
- Men with stress incontinence might leak urine when they cough, laugh, sneeze, or exercise. Stress incontinence is the most common type after prostate surgery. It's usually caused by problems with the valve that keeps urine in the bladder (the bladder sphincter). Prostate cancer treatments can damage the muscles that form this valve or the nerves that keep the muscles working.
- Men with overflow incontinence have trouble emptying their bladder. They take a long time to urinate and have a dribbling stream with little force. Overflow incontinence is usually caused by blockage or narrowing of the bladder outlet by scar tissue.
- Men with urge incontinence have a sudden need to urinate. This happens when the bladder becomes too sensitive to stretching as it fills with urine.
Rarely after surgery, men lose all ability to control their urine. This is called continuous incontinence.
After surgery for prostate cancer, normal bladder control usually returns within several weeks or months. This recovery usually occurs slowly over time.
Doctors can't predict for sure how any man will be affected after surgery. In general, older men tend to have more incontinence problems than younger men. Large cancer centers, where prostate surgery is done often and surgeons have a lot of experience, generally report fewer problems with incontinence.
Incontinence can be treated. Even if your incontinence can't be corrected completely, it can still be helped. To learn about managing and living with incontinence, see Managing Incontinence for Men With Cancer.
Erectile dysfunction (impotence): This means you can't get an erection sufficient for sexual penetration.
Erections are controlled by 2 tiny bundles of nerves that run on either side of the prostate. If you can have erections before surgery, the surgeon will try not to injure these nerves during the prostatectomy. This is known as a nerve-sparing approach. But if the cancer is growing into or very close to the nerves, the surgeon will need to remove them.
If both nerves are removed, you won't be able to have spontaneous erections, but you might still be able to have erections using some of the aids described below. If the nerves on only one side are removed, you might still have erections, but the chance is lower than if neither were removed. If neither nerve bundle is removed you might have normal erections at some point after surgery.
Your ability to have an erection after surgery depends on your age, your ability to get an erection before the operation, and whether the nerves were cut. All men can expect some decrease in the ability to have an erection, but the younger you are, the more likely it is that you will keep this ability.
Surgeons who do many radical prostatectomies tend to report lower impotence rates than doctors who do the surgery less often. A wide range of impotency rates have been reported in the medical literature, but each man's situation is different, so the best way to get an idea of your chances for recovering erections is to ask your doctor about his or her success rates and what the outcome is likely to be in your case.
If your ability to have erections does return after surgery, it often occurs slowly. In fact, it can take from a few months up to 2 years. During the first few months, you will probably not be able to have a spontaneous erection, so you may need to use medicines or other treatments.
Most doctors feel that regaining potency is helped along by trying to get an erection as soon as possible once the body has had a chance to heal (usually several weeks after the operation). Some doctors call this penile rehabilitation. Medicines (see below) may be helpful at this time. Be sure to talk to your doctor about your situation.
There are several options for treating erectile dysfunction:
- Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors such as sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra), and tadalafil (Cialis) are pills that can help with erections. These drugs won't work if both nerves that control erections have been damaged or removed. Common side effects of these drugs are headache, flushing (skin becomes red and feels warm), upset stomach, light sensitivity, and runny or stuffy nose. Rarely, these drugs can cause vision problems, possibly even blindness. Some other drugs such as nitrates, which are drugs used to treat heart disease, can cause problems if you are taking a PDE5 inhibitor, so be sure your doctor knows what medicines you take.
- Alprostadil is a man-made version of prostaglandin E1, a substance naturally made in the body that can produce erections. It can be injected almost painlessly into the base of the penis 5 to 10 minutes before intercourse or placed into the tip of the penis as a suppository. You can even increase the dosage to prolong the erection. You might have side effects, such as pain, dizziness, and prolonged erection, but they are not usually serious.
- Vacuum devices are another option to create an erection. These mechanical pumps are placed over the penis. The air is sucked out of the pump, which draws blood into the penis to produce an erection. The erection is maintained after the pump is removed by a strong rubber band placed at the base of the penis. The band is removed after sex.
- Penile implants might restore your ability to have erections if other methods don't help. An operation is needed to put them inside the penis. There are several types of penile implants, including those using silicone rods or inflatable devices.
For more on coping with erection problems and other sexuality issues, see Sexuality for the Man With Cancer.
Changes in orgasm: After surgery, the sensation of orgasm should still be pleasurable, but there is no ejaculation of semen – the orgasm is "dry." This is because the glands that made most of the fluid for semen (the seminal vesicles and prostate) were removed during the prostatectomy, and the pathways used by sperm (the vas deferens) were cut. In some men, orgasm becomes less intense or goes away completely. Less often, men report pain with orgasm.
Loss of fertility: Radical prostatectomy cuts the vas deferens, which are the pathways between the testicles (where sperm are made) and the urethra (through which sperm leave the body). Your testicles will still make sperm, but they can't leave the body as a part of the ejaculate. This means that a man can no longer father a child the natural way. Often, this is not an issue, as men with prostate cancer tend to be older. But if it is a concern for you, you might want to ask your doctor about "banking" your sperm before the operation. To learn more, see Fertility and Men With Cancer.
Lymphedema: This is a rare but possible complication of removing many of the lymph nodes around the prostate. Lymph nodes normally provide a way for fluid to return to the heart from all areas of the body. When nodes are removed, fluid can collect in the legs or genital region over time, causing swelling and pain. Lymphedema can usually be treated with physical therapy, although it may not go away completely. You can learn more on our lymphedema page.
Change in penis length: A possible effect of surgery is a small decrease in penis length. This is probably due to a shortening of the urethra when a portion of it is removed along with the prostate.
Inguinal hernia: A prostatectomy increases a man's chances of developing an inguinal (groin) hernia in the future.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
This operation is more often used to treat men with non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). But it is also sometimes used in men with advanced prostate cancer to help relieve symptoms, such as urination problems. (It is not used to try to cure the cancer.)
During this operation, the surgeon removes the inner part of the prostate gland that surrounds the urethra (the tube through which urine exits the bladder). The skin is not cut with this surgery. An instrument called a resectoscope is passed through the tip of the penis into the urethra to the level of the prostate. Once it is in place, either electricity is passed through a wire to heat it or a laser is used to cut or vaporize the tissue. Spinal anesthesia (which numbs the lower half of your body) or general anesthesia (where you are asleep) is used.
The operation usually takes about an hour. After surgery, a catheter (thin, flexible tube) is inserted through the penis and into the bladder. It remains in place for about a day to help urine drain while the prostate heals. You can usually leave the hospital after 1 to 2 days and return to normal activities in 1 to 2 weeks.
You will probably have some blood in your urine after surgery. Other possible side effects from TURP include infection and any risks that come with the type of anesthesia used.

Liberty on the Rocks, a young libertarian group, claims that "a group of young conservative activists" is pushing for freedom in marriage. While the group is itself correctly billed as libertarian, billing "young, vibrant activists" who advocate a "free lifestyle" as conservatives is just silly and, frankly, incorrect.
Recently, I received the invitation below from a group known as "Liberty on the Rocks".
Are you a libertarian looking to meet others in the Denver area? Want to learn more about libertarian ideals? This isn't about party politics, it's about what's right and how to fight for it. LOTR is not looking for how you vote, but what you believe. Is it in peace? Liberty? Or tyranny, violence and oppression? If you value the former ideals than LOTR happy hour is the network for you!
We'll be joined for a 20-minute discussion (followed by q & a) by Joe Megesey and Mario Nicolas from Coloradans for Freedom, a group of young conservative activists pushing for freedom in marriage at the state level.
They'll kick things off around 7:30 to discuss what they are all about and why. As conservatives, they think this is the best way to promote a free lifestyle as the GOP platform suggests, and they are the ones leading the charge as young, vibrant activists.
Happy hour kicks off at 6pm (specials run through 6:30 so get there early!). We have a fun activity planned around 6:30 for anyone interested – sort of a "speed dating" concept but w/o the dating. More of a "speed getting to know other libertarians".
I hope to see you this Wednesday night!
While the group is itself correctly billed as libertarian, billing "young, vibrant activists" who advocate a "free lifestyle" as conservatives is just silly and, frankly, incorrect. The traditional family is the bedrock of civilization, and true conservatives understand that. Once you abandon the most fundamental of institutions for a societal fad, then you only accelerate the downward spiral into societal, moral, and cultural collapse. Once you have surrendered the culture wars and start to embrace the mainstreaming of homosexuality, abortion on demand, and amnesty for illegal aliens I contend than you no longer can be accurately described as a conservative.
Why so-called conservatives think we should adopt the policies of the Left, and their twisted and perverse societal values, is simply beyond me. The mainstreaming of homosexuality is one of the pillars of the progressive/liberal ideology and conservatives should not be a part of it, nor be enablers of their anti-traditional family agenda. By doing so one only plays into their hands. Civil unions is little more than gay marriage "lite" and in effect just a way of playing semantics to attain their ultimate goals.
It is just another weapon in the arsenal of those seeking to undermine the traditional family structure and is an important part of the progressive agenda. All the talk of healthcare, mutual property, taxes and other legal aspects is a mere smokescreen for the agenda of societal acceptance and the mainstreaming of their lifestyle. Any two people, with the assistance of an attorney, regardless of sexual relationship, status, or title can address those concerns without trying to adopt the cloak of marriage or civil unions.
One young lady told me that while we may disagree, she hoped that our differences in opinion wouldn't "turn into us forcing our values on others." The simple truth is that if anyone is "forcing their values on others" it is the homosexual lobby, their liberal allies, and such so-called conservative who are forcing what is basically a sexual and emotional dysfunction onto the rest of us.
I've been a conservative activist, blogger, writer, author, and columnist most of my life and this type of acceptance and enabling of parts of the liberal agenda by so-called conservatives needs to be strenuously and vigorously opposed whenever possible. It may be acceptable in certain libertarian circles but should never be tolerated in conservative ones. The concept of the two parent, heterosexual family unit and any children they have forming the base of Western civilization and society is a fundamental part of conservative thought and ideology. Everything is built upon that. It is the cornerstone upon which all is constructed.
It seems to me that this movement to adopt liberal views as our own originates with the poor performance that the GOP has experienced on the presidential level for the last two presidential elections. The theory seems to go that if the Right surrenders on all moral and cultural fronts, then we may have a chance at electoral victory somewhere along the line. Never mind that the last two presidential candidates were themselves 'progressives' in many ways and certainly did not personify or articulate conservative principles properly, accurately, or convincingly. How does the warped idea that adopting the moral stances of our ideological enemies so that we can then defeat them at the ballot box make any sense at all?
I hate to take issue with the otherwise fine people of "Liberty Rocks", but I was left with little choice in this particular case. Liberty is not the freedom to do whatever you want, however you want, with whoever you want coupled with the demand for the blessing of societal acceptance. To quote Lord Acton "Liberty is not the freedom to do what you wish, but the freedom to do what you ought." For what is liberty without wisdom and virtue?
Modern libertarians by definition basically follow no moral code or path as an ideology so they kind of get a pass from me in that regard and they are often useful allies in the fight against the Left. They may be misguided and shortsighted but they are rarely true hypocrites. But the so-called "Coloradoans for Freedom" is worthy of all the condescension I can heap upon them. Call yourself whatever you want, but don't try to pass yourselves off as a conservative if you are a mere water-carrier for the gay lobby.
Conservative principles and bedrock institutions like marriage should be viewed as timeless and not subject to the mere whim of polls, public opinion, and cultural fads.
