How long to get out of bed after radical prostatectomy

Generally, patients can get out of bed in 3-4 days after radical prostatectomy, and the exact time varies from person to person due to each patient’s physical condition, recovery and the way of surgery. Radical prostatectomy, or radical prostatectomy, is mainly used to treat limited early prostate cancer, and is mainly done through open surgery or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. When performing a radical prostatectomy, the surgeon may selectively remove the patient’s prostate, seminal vesicles, the prostate portion of the urethra, etc., depending on the patient’s condition, and may also perform lymph node dissection. Currently, most patients are treated with minimally invasive laparoscopic methods, which can reduce the trauma to the patient, provide quicker postoperative recovery and better therapeutic effects, and if the patient is in good physical condition, he or she can get out of bed on the second day after the operation. For patients who choose open radical surgery, due to the postoperative trauma is relatively large, the postoperative recovery time is relatively longer, about 3-4 days before you can get out of bed, for some patients with poor physical condition or slow recovery, the time may be extended, the specific time varies from person to person.
