Prostate Surgery

[robertheinkel]

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.

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 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.

I had my prostate removed at James cook hospital, And I have to say the procedure went very well. Everyone involved was absolutely amazing. They looked after me so so well, I can’t thank them enough. People who pull the NHS down should be ashamed of themselves

I always tell people when I had my prostate surgery it was the best sleep I've ever had😅

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.

Had my Prostate removed just over two weeks ago and they didn't miss a NHS and thank you!

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

My dad no longer here had that surgery and my mother said that’s the most she’s seen it swollen in all her life greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Before surgery, research Proton Beam Radiation offered now in many places. I had mine at Loma Linda in 2007 with no side effects and am still cancer free.

It’s very humbling to know that so many people were involved in my procedure. Thank you NHS.

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.

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

Robotic prostatectomy, urology is advancing... I remember the’smash and grab’ open prostatectomy, done in 25 minutes!... huge blood loss, leading to hypovolaemic shock, infection and sepsis..They were the days 😔

Good afternoon!! Doctors say I have chronic prostatitis in Russia 3 times treated and not cured .

[barryf]

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

[derekwhite]

Watching this is almost as traumatising as the surgery I had was in October

Overall, the integration of robot technology in urology has the potential to improve surgical outcomes, enhance patient experiences, and advance the field of urological surgery through its precision, minimally invasive approach, and advanced visualization capabilities.
