Is prostate hyperplasia surgery dangerous?
The operation of prostate hyperplasia is not very dangerous, and patients should maintain a good mindset. Of course, there are risks in any surgery. The risks of prostate hyperplasia surgery mainly focus on anesthesia, and postoperative urethral stenosis may occur. After surgery, attention should be paid to nursing, avoiding early sexual intercourse, and informing the doctor promptly if there are any problems.
1. The risk of prostate hyperplasia surgery is not very high
Prostate hyperplasia surgery is a very mature operation, and the complications of transurethral prostate surgery itself will be less and less. Moreover, with the promotion of medical standards and the division of surgery levels, qualified surgeons are generally employed for transurethral prostate surgery, which can greatly reduce the risk of surgery.
2. The principle of prostate hyperplasia surgery
Generally, minimally invasive transurethral prostate surgery is used to treat prostate hyperplasia. The gold standard is transurethral plasma resection of the prostate. The principle is to allow the resectoscope to enter the body through the urethra, observe the hyperplastic prostate tissue, use the resection loop to cut the hyperplastic prostate tissue into small pieces, and then flush it out of the body to achieve the purpose of treatment. The effect of transurethral resection of the prostate is generally satisfactory.
3. Postoperative care for prostate hyperplasia surgery
If a catheter is indwelled, it is necessary to keep the catheter and drainage tube unobstructed. If the catheter becomes blocked and the drainage is not smooth, it can easily lead to rebleeding of the prostate wound, which is also very dangerous. Therefore, it is important to keep the catheter unobstructed; also, drink plenty of water, and increase water intake appropriately for a considerable period of time.
