The prostate is part of the male reproductive system. It is located at the bottom of the bladder around the urethra. It is responsible for semen production and sperm protection. Depending on age, enlargement, mass and infection may occur in the prostate gland. It may cause serious complaints in male individuals. In this case, surgical intervention is required.
Prostate surgery is performed in two methods, open and laparoscopic (closed), depending on the condition of the prostate and the complaints. This intervention, performed under general anesthesia, lasts between 2 and 3 hours.
Who Are The Eligible Candidates For Prostate Surgery?
Prostate enlargement develops with age. As it grows, it begins to compress the urinary canals. Due to this compression, the bladder muscles expand and over time the muscles begin to tire. Thus, problems with urination begin.
Individuals with symptoms such as pain, burning and bleeding during urination, intermittent or scanty urination, increased need to urinate at night, urinary incontinence, still feeling the need to urinate after urinating, and sexual dysfunction are deemed suitable for surgery after examination.
How Is The Prostate Surgery Performed?
There are two methods of performing prostate surgery: laparoscopic (closed) and open. This surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes between 2 and 3 hours.
Recovery From Prostate Surgery In Turkey
After prostate surgery, patients stay in the hospital for 1 to 3 days. During this 3-day period, patients have a catheter. The catheter is usually removed after 3 days and patients are discharged after urinating for the first time.
It is recommended to get plenty of rest and avoid heavy work during the recovery period. During this period, it is quite normal to experience urinary incontinence and bleeding when coughing and sneezing. Patients should consume plenty of fluids to cleanse the urinary tract. And patients should do urinary tract strengthening exercises as explained by their doctors.
While the recovery period lasts 7 to 10 days in closed surgery, it may take 6 weeks or a little longer in open surgery. However total healing may be seen in 6 months after the open surgery.
