Question

a client is admitted to the nursing unit after undergoing radical prostatectomy for cancer. the nurse anticipates that which problem would be of most concern to the client in the immediate postoperative period?

Answer 1

In the initial postoperative phase, the client would be most worried about the results of the surgery, thus the nurse should anticipate this.

A prostatectomy is a surgical treatment used to remove the prostate whole or partially. Treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer may involve this procedure.

Making a surgical incision and removing the prostate gland is a standard surgical procedure for prostatectomy (or part of it). The retropubic or suprapubic incision (lower abdomen), or a perineum incision, can be used to achieve this (through the skin between the scrotum and the rectum).

Urologists' most popular surgical method is radical prostatectomy (doctors who specialize in diseases and surgery of the urinary tract). The doctor will also remove the lymph nodes surrounding the prostate gland if there is cause to assume the cancer has spread to those tissues. If cancer is discovered in the lymph nodes, it has spread outside of the prostate gland. In that instance, surgery might not be recommended since the cancer won't be sufficiently treated. Additional therapies could be done in this case.
