What are the nursing measures before and after prostate cancer surgery? What should be paid attention to before and after prostate cancer surgery?

Many men are troubled by prostate diseases in life. The disease has a great impact on the patient's work and life. Among them, prostate cancer is the most harmful and serious disease. Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor. When it is discovered, surgery is required in time. Otherwise, the longer the time is delayed, the more serious the disease will be. So what matters should patients pay attention to before and after the operation?

(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 stage A and stage B 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.

The above is an introduction to the matters that prostate cancer patients need to pay attention to before and after surgery. Therefore, patients must keep their skin clean when preparing for surgery, pay attention to protecting the wound to prevent infection after surgery, and develop regular eating and living habits after surgery, exercise more, and improve their resistance to the disease.
