Patient's question:
I have prostatitis and the medication isn't helping, so I'm preparing to go to the hospital for surgery. But I'm worried that the surgery will take too long and I'll catch a cold. How long does surgery take for this condition?Doctor's answer:
The time spent on the prostate is not too long, about half an hour, but there is still some variation in the specific time because there are many types of prostate surgery. For example, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy. These prostate surgeries are not very complex, and the patient can get out of bed and move around on the same day after the surgery. However, it is essential to pay attention to hygiene after the surgery to prevent infection. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
