Good to hear. Not being in the medical field I could only go by the two cases I've encountered.My TURP was nothing like that.
I felt no post-operative effects, was not peeing blood at all.
I did have a "false start" of about 1 1/2 weeks when my catheter was removed / still couldn't pee / replaced / removed - could pee for ~ 1 week / stop being able to pee / catheter re-inserted for ~ week / catheter replaced ~ 1 week / catheter removed ..... able to pee normally ever since.
Here are my actual "post operative notes" :
A 26-French continuous flow resectoscope was then inserted into the
urethra and the bladder was entered with no difficulty using an
obturator. Urine was sent for culture. Bilateral ureteric orifices
were identified. They were well away from the bladder neck.
We identified the verumontanum as a distal margin resection. We began
resecting between the 5 and 7 o'clock positions from the bladder neck
all the way down to the verumontanum. We then resected the left
lateral lobe.
This was taken down to the capsule. We then resected
the right lateral lobe. At the end of the resection, the prostatic
urethra was wide open. Adequate hemostasis was ensured. All the
prostate chips were sent to pathology. We had another look. There
was no evidence of injury to the ureters. Adequate hemostasis was
ensured. The scope was removed. A 22 three-way catheter was inserted
and attached to CBI. It was draining clear at the end of the case.
Stabilized with the PACU.
