About Patrick C. Walsh
Patrick C. Walsh is a urologist from the United States who also works as a researcher and writer. His main contribution is the anatomic approach to radical prostatectomy (surgical removal of the prostate), a method that spares the nerves. Sparing the nerves made it less likely that patients would face impotence or loss of bladder control after the operation. Walsh has also written for general readers, including The Prostate: A Guide for Men and the Women Who Love Them and Dr. Patrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer.
