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.
Imaging (e.g., MRI) and PSA tests evaluate cancer extent and surgical planning.
General anesthesia keeps you asleep and pain-free during surgery.
Surgeons remove the prostate via open surgery or minimally invasive robotic techniques.
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.
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.
Preparation is key for a successful surgery and recovery:
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.
1-3 days, depending on the surgical approach and recovery.
Rest with catheter use; limited activity to aid healing.
Catheter removal; gradual return to light activities.
Most regain normal function, with continence and potency improving.
Our team coordinates your recovery, including follow-ups and support for side effects.
Pain management is a priority during and after prostate cancer surgery:
General anesthesia ensures no pain during the procedure.
Mild pelvic discomfort; pain relief is provided.
Pain subsides within days to weeks; catheter discomfort may persist briefly.
Minimal pain after healing; support available for ongoing comfort.
Our partner hospitals ensure effective pain management, and we’ll support your recovery process.
