What Preparation Required for Radical Prostatectomy | Dr Shafiq Ahmed

Preparation for a radical prostatectomy involves several key steps. Patients may need to undergo pre-operative tests such as blood work, imaging scans, and electrocardiograms to assess overall health and identify any potential risks. They may also need to discontinue certain medications, such as blood thinners, in the days leading up to surgery. Additionally, patients will receive instructions regarding fasting before the procedure and may need to undergo bowel preparation to ensure the colon is empty. It's crucial to follow all pre-operative instructions provided by the healthcare team to optimize surgical outcomes and minimize complications. #prostate #prostateproblems
