How long does it take to heal inside after prostate surgery

Introduction

In the last year or so, I’ve spent quite a bit of time writing about choosing a treatment for prostate cancer, and even more time writing about life after treatment in terms of nerve regeneration and continence.

What isn’t often discussed is the actual operation itself, and the several weeks of recovery that follow afterwards. This has been echoed in my patients, who I have discovered are arriving for surgery poorly prepared as to what to expect after the operation.

I therefore wanted to spell out exactly what patients can expect during and after robotic radical prostatectomy, and the post below is a slightly modified version of what my patients receive themselves.
