For many men, prostate cancer is a terrible prostate disease, and everyone has an inexplicable fear of cancer. In fact, as long as patients with prostate cancer receive timely treatment, they may recover. However, preoperative care for prostate cancer is also very important, and preoperative care determines the success of the surgery.
In summary, preoperative care for prostate cancer is very important, and good care is half the battle. Therefore, for patients with prostate cancer, what should be prepared before surgery is also very important.
(1) The night before surgery, the patient should receive a clean enema and prepare the surgical field skin. Fasting on the day of surgery. Antibiotics can be prophylactically administered half an hour before surgery. The best surgery for bladder orifice obstruction is TUR, which can only alleviate symptoms and improve the quality of life of patients with stage C lesions, but is not meaningful for cure.
(2) Radical prostatectomy: This surgery is mainly used for patients with stage A and B prostate cancer. For some patients, radical surgery means the cure of prostate cancer. However, few patients are clinically suitable for radical prostatectomy, and patients often miss the best opportunity for surgery at the time of diagnosis. There are two surgical approaches: transperineal prostatectomy and retropubic prostatectomy.
(3) Extended radical prostatectomy: Refers to the extensive removal of local tumors, with attention to the removal of the bladder base, seminal vesicles, and residual portions of the vas deferens, posterior bladder fascia, and urogenital diaphragm. However, some studies have shown that expanding radical treatment does not mean prolonging the survival period of patients. Not currently used.
(4) Bladder Prostatectomy and Pelvic Cleaning: Refers to expanded radical cystectomy plus urinary diversion and radical pelvic visceral removal. This type of surgery is highly destructive, with high surgical complications and mortality, and is only used for strictly selected young people. Its value needs to be further explored.
In summary, for men with prostate cancer, fasting is necessary on the day of surgery, and good mental health is also a good start. It is hoped that men with prostate cancer will be able to know these preoperative nursing knowledge about prostate cancer. In short, more preparation will lead to more assurance of the direction of success, and it is hoped that patients will be able to actively treat.
