There are several websites about da Vinci system by Dr. Thomas Ahlering.
Recent studies suggest that da Vinci™ Prostatetectomy may improve cancer control and reduce the risk of urinary incontinence and impotence following surgery.
Generally this is no database of patients that experience known risk factors after surgery by physician. UCI is a teaching hospital and they may keep some information like this internally, but it would not be a public record and would not be given out.
Since Dr. Ahlering graduated from medical school in 1979, I think it is safe to conclude that he has considerable experience doing prostatectomies. If your concern is more about doing them with the da Vinci I wouldn’t worry too much. It has been around for a while now and I am sure Dr. Ahlering has removed hundreds of prostates this way. From what I am told by the doctors I work with and my ex-husband who is a urologist, it is not only better, but it is easier for them to use the da Vinci than it is to remove a prostate the traditional way. Best wishes, I hope it goes well.
