What kind of care should be done before and after prostate cancer surgery?

Prostate cancer is the most serious tumor disease among men's diseases. It has a great impact on men's health. If it is not treated in time, it will endanger men's lives. For prostate cancer, it is mainly treated by surgery. If prostate cancer patients want to do a good job in prostate surgery, it depends not only on the experience and skills of the surgeon, but also on the care before and after the operation.

Prostate cancer surgery pre- and post-operative care

(1) The night before surgery, the patient should receive a cleansing enema and have the surgical field skin prepared. Fasting is recommended on the day of surgery. Antibiotics can be used prophylactically half an hour before surgery. The best surgery for bladder orifice obstruction is TUR, which can only relieve symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life for stage C lesions, but is meaningless for cure.

(2) Radical prostatectomy: This surgery is mainly used for patients with early prostate cancer. For some patients, radical surgery means the cure of prostate cancer. However, clinically, there are very few patients who are suitable for radical prostatectomy, and patients often miss the best time for surgery when they are diagnosed. There are two surgical approaches: perineal prostatectomy and retropubic prostatectomy.

(3) Extended radical prostatectomy: refers to the extensive removal of local tumors, and attention is paid to the removal of the bladder base, the residual part of the seminal vesicle and vas deferens, the posterior bladder fascia and the urogenital diaphragm. However, studies have shown that extended radical prostatectomy does not necessarily prolong the patient's survival. It is not often used now.

(4) Cystoprostatectomy and pelvic clearance: mainly refers to extended cystoprostatectomy with radical urinary diversion and radical resection of pelvic organs. This surgery is highly destructive and has high surgical complications and mortality. It is only used for strictly selected young people. Its value needs further exploration.

It is very important to do a good job of care before and after prostate cancer surgery. It plays a decisive role in whether the surgery is effective and safe after surgery. I hope patients will take it seriously. If you don’t know how to take care of yourself, it is recommended that you consult a doctor before the surgery and do a good job of care with the doctor’s help to ensure the safety and success of the surgery.
