Have Cancer. Facing Removal Of Prostate. Ductus Deferens, What Happens To It? What Else Will Be Removed?

Hi Doctor Grief,
I'm facing the removal of my prostate due to cancer and a Gleason score of 7. During the surgery what else is removed besides the prostate? What happens to the Ductus Deferens? Is the plumbing arranged to allow ejaculate to mix with urine so that when I orgasm the discharge will be mostly urine? Can this be prevented?
Thanks for help.
Regards, Walter Kimball

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
No, Vas deferens are not removed.
There is a change in ejaculatory volume.
This related to retrograde ejaculation.
After removal of prostate, semen enters the bladder instead of being propelled forward to penis during ejaculation.
The semen is then evacuated from the bladder with the next urination.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
