What to Tell Patients About TURP
Abstract:
All elective surgery causes patients anxiety. Operations near the genital tract are associated with even larger fears. Prostatic surgery can be as traumatic for a man as having a breast removed is for a woman.This tear-out sheet can be copied and distributed to patients booked for transurethral prostate surgery. It describes the problem and how it will be dealt with. Postoperative complications-especially sexual ones-decrease when the surgery has been adequately explained to patients. As in other instances, communication is one of the best medicines we have.
