Your Questions Answered

Why Do I Need Prostate Cancer Surgery?

Surgery, often a prostatectomy, is recommended when prostate cancer is confined to the prostate and hasn’t spread, or when other treatments (e.g., radiation) aren’t suitable. It removes the prostate gland to eliminate cancer and prevent progression. Your doctor will suggest it based on your cancer stage, PSA levels, and health.

How Do They Do It?

Pre-Surgical Assessment

Imaging (e.g., MRI) and PSA tests evaluate cancer extent and surgical planning.

Anesthesia

General anesthesia keeps you asleep and pain-free during surgery.

Surgical Procedure

Surgeons remove the prostate via open surgery or minimally invasive robotic techniques.

Closing & Recovery

Incisions are closed, and a catheter is placed temporarily for healing.

The procedure takes 2-4 hours, depending on the approach. Your surgeon will detail the method during your consultation.

What Could Go Wrong?

Prostate cancer surgery is safe with experienced teams, but risks include:

Infection at the surgical site

Urinary incontinence

Erectile dysfunction

Bleeding or blood clots

Major complications occur in less than 5% of cases. SB Medical Travels works with top hospitals to minimize risks and optimize outcomes.

How Do I Get Ready?

Preparation is key for a successful surgery and recovery:

Before Surgery:

  • Fast for 8-12 hours prior if under general anesthesia

  • Review medications with your doctor; some may need adjustment

  • Pack comfortable clothing and prepare for catheter use post-surgery

  • Arrange for a companion to assist you after discharge

SB Medical Travels provides a detailed pre-surgery checklist and personalized support throughout the process.

How Long Until I'm Back to Normal?

Recovery Timeline:

1
Hospital Stay

1-3 days, depending on the surgical approach and recovery.

2
First Week

Rest with catheter use; limited activity to aid healing.

3
2-6 Weeks

Catheter removal; gradual return to light activities.

4
3-6 Months

Most regain normal function, with continence and potency improving.

Our team coordinates your recovery, including follow-ups and support for side effects.

Does It Hurt?

Pain management is a priority during and after prostate cancer surgery:

During Surgery

General anesthesia ensures no pain during the procedure.

Immediately After

Mild pelvic discomfort; pain relief is provided.

Recovery Period

Pain subsides within days to weeks; catheter discomfort may persist briefly.

Long-Term

Minimal pain after healing; support available for ongoing comfort.

Our partner hospitals ensure effective pain management, and we’ll support your recovery process.
