Prostate Surgery

[@captango]

I thank every person who works in our NHS, over the years they have help my family and myself. Thank you.

[@robertheinkel6225]

Mine was removed robotically. Six incisions for access. Only the large one above the naval was very tender for a few days. I was up and walking around about four hours after the surgery. I went home the next day with a catheter. I returned six days later to remove the catheter, painless by the way, and get the pathology report. My cancer was caught just in time before it spread. Right after the catheter removal, I was able to control urine flow, unless I really strained, like picking up something heavy. Six weeks later, blood test show no more cancer.

I had the same procedure robotic prostrate surgery. I had a decatherer in my penis for 2 weeks and a drainage for 1 week. The surgery was preform in 2011. Today I felel wonderful. My psa is always negative.😊

[@alk8933]

Negative PSA, what are numbers for that

[@Bbendfender]

I had prostate surgery in 1999. Mine was "by hand" and was a radical type. It wasn't all that bad. I no longer have prostate cancer.

[@SuperLittleTyke]

Another example of the excellent care under the NHS. I have had several surgeries over the past 15 years, including heart bypass, both inguinal hernia repairs, umbilical hernia repair, and bladder resection (benign growths). Every time the care I received was excellent. I was well looked after by all the nurses, doctors, and ancillary staff such as the catering crew who wheeled around the tea trolley several times a day.

[@stevegonzales3612]

Had prostate cancer, as they found (1) aggressive cancer cell within the prostate, to include high PSA numbers. Had the prostate removed (10/2020), with no blood transfusion needed, and/or any issues. I choose the traditional surgery over robotic, and at (9) months post surgery...I was/and still @ 100%. I was 58 yrs old at the time of surgery.

No benefit to having surgery over radiation in intermediate prostate cancer. Long term survival after 14 years is the same. It is all about which side affects do you want.

[@aaronwilliams6989]

Good thing you did because you would be SUPER SORRY if you didn't. I knew a man with the same problem you had and choose chemotherapy, first, by pill 💊 for years. MAN did that mess him up! Then he went the intravenous route. That worked at first but, because he had the aggressive type, it just came roaring right back worst than before in just a matter of months and finished him off. I could just go on and on about it. To his l dieing day, MAN! Did he suffer! He, in fact, warned me and other men not to make the same mistake. Just go in and GET IT OUT! OR YOU WILL SURE PAY THE PRICE! I sure wish HE did.

The NHS is such an incredible gift for the people of the UK. I truly hope that, at the very least, before I die, I see something of similar greatness in the US. No one deserves to die simply because they can't afford medical care and/or because someone else thinks health insurance should only be for certain people. Thanks for being awesome NHS. Theres so many videos and shows I love and they are all possible strictly because the NHS exists and continues the amazing work it does day after day. 🎉❤

I had my prostate surgery in May,I elected to have the spinal anasthetic without any sedation, so I was fully awake during the procedure,I could listen to my radio & speak with the theatre staff, no after effects like when you have a general anasthetic, so I was able to have my evening meal afterwards, all good now back to 100% now

[@rfwiggins5907]

I had mine back in September. After surgery, I still could not urinate freely, so they had to put the leg catheter back on for a week after which time I was urinating like a twenty-five year old. 😄

I had this last week but as i was put on operating table they told me that they were going to paralise me from waist down instead of putting me to sleep. Not sure why the last min change but im glad that happened as i was afraid to go under general anaesthetic. But not sure why that option wasnt given to me before. Anyway its done and im doing ok up to now, thank god its over!!!!!

A spinal is cheaper than a general as they can kick you out of hospital quicker

You forgot to let patients know that before surgery a pre surgery clearance form has to be completed by a pcp with an ekg to be done by a cardiologist to determine if.patient can under go turp surgery. Also a stress test.on the treadmill is used by the cardiologist to determine if patient is suffering from a coronary blockage of the artery then if not satisfied does an echo cardiography to determine fault of theheart rhythm and at the same time billing medic care for unnecessary expenses.this is in new york oct 2023.

The entire prostate surgery procedure wasn't shown. We have no idea what the procedure was.

[@charliemckellar]

Basically they stick a rigid pipe 8-9mm in diameter up your urethra with an electric bit of cheese wire inside it and carve away your prostate burning as they go and flush the debris back out through same pipe.

[@reopat14]

Not me! Year 2000 , no robot. They dumped my innards on my abdomen and the surgeon “spilled the prostate contents” and after surgery went for six weeks of radiation and injected with Lutron. Sure have come a long way. Good news is 22 years Cancer freel.

[@outlet6989]

For me, the whole procedure was a piece of cake. No problems whatsoever. The hospital asked me to return in 7 days to have the Foley catheter removed. I pulled it myself to avoid the 40 miles to the hospital. Since I had been using a catheter for months, I had plenty of experience inserting a removing one. I didn't want a nurse to remove it; they don't know what the word 'slow' means. They are smiling when they pull it. Woman's revenge?

I had robotic surgery in 2017. My experience was not great as for taking care of the cancer that was a success I’ve been cancer free. But I was in the hospital 4 days recovery was slow. I had a urinary infection that took several round of antibiotics to clear up. The side effects of the surgery left me completely incontinent and impudent . Physical therapy didn’t help with the incontinent and to use injection for the ED. The injections had mixed results had to make a trip to the ER one night with the erection form hell. I am very pleased the cancer was taken care of but the side effects have been life changing. I will always wonder if I had choose radiation therapy if the side effects would have been different.

I hate the surgeons who recommend the double open surgeries of abdominal aortic aneurysm and Bypass together with lots of fake promises on 19/10/2019 without discussing any word of risk and without mentioning it in the prescription. I also hate the same surgeons who confuse the patient's attendant after a month on 11/11/2019 by disclosing the risk factors when payment complete, admission done and most of the formalities before OT completed leaving little scope to depart the hospital . What are the problems of the surgeons of the private or corporate hospitals to discuss the risk complications well in advance before the payment of package amounts ? What is the mystery that they have to take a month to disclose the true facts of risks at the fag end ? I also hate the hospitals where a patient gets both blood infection and sepsis. I had had the most tragic experience to take home the body of my father with the deep wounds of five open surgeries of AAA, CABG, CHOLESTOMY, TREAKESTOMY and THORACENTESIS in coffin from Bangalore to Bengal. I had the biggest ever blunder by trusting a particular corporate hospital in Bangalore. Henceforth, my family and friends will never trust any private and corporate hospitals.
