Simple Prostateotomy Surgery - how is it and side effects?
Posted , 8 users are following.
69 yr old - BPH - P infections since 1983 2/3 a year. negative DREs; bactrim or doxy for infections
2011 bleeding start w infections
2015 CT shows bladder stones-cysto removed
2017 peed out bladder stones
6/2019 urine retention - ER - Foley Cath
- began Silodosin
7/2019 CT shows P at 200ml
Dr says stay on meds until doesnt work - then, Simple Prostocomy surgery will be needed
Says FLA, Tulsa Pro not workable due to P size
Inquiring about how to prepare for this step if i have to do this surgery:
- Experiences
- side effects - how long
- would you do it again
- how long to being normal again
- if y had- did infections n bleeding go away?
- any tips or word to the wise?

Want to give u guys an update. I contacted Univ Finland Hospital dr about Tulsa Pro for my 220ml size P. Germany n Finland have been doing for yrs w good outcomes for P cancer n BPH at a cost range of $17-22k us dollars. Respected Dr at Finland advised that Tulsa Pro is not a fit for a P larger than 100g. He was not an advocate of other interventions. So i continue on meds for now n continue exploring robotic SP surgery experts. Mike
