Prostatectomy is usually not considered major surgery.
Prostatectomy is usually seen in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, and common methods of removal include suprapubic cystectomy, retropubic prostatectomy, transperineal prostatectomy, transurethral resection of the prostate, and so on, and commonly used anesthesia methods include epidural anesthesia, lumbar anesthesia, etc., and the scope of the operation as well as the difficulty of the operation is relatively small, and basically does not pose a risk to life.
At present, transurethral resection of the prostate has become the “gold standard” for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, and open surgery is seldom performed to remove the prostate, and the procedure is short, quick recovery, less traumatic and less risky, which is a more acceptable surgical procedure nowadays.
Therefore, prostatectomy is usually not considered a major surgery, patients should go to a regular hospital, under the guidance of the doctor, according to their own specific conditions to choose the appropriate mode of surgery.
