Hi Dave-
Was the perineal operation for the treatment of prostate cancer? Was a radical prostatectomy performed, or was just the tumor itself excised?
Although the PSA levels you mention aren't a cause for concern by themselves, they would be a reason to talk more with your doctor about followup treatment if the prostate had been previously removed.
