El costo de la prostatectomía depende de su tipo. La extirpación de próstata abierta suele ser la más barata.
La prostatectomía incluye tales pasos:
Incluye reconocimiento médico, análisis de orina y sangre, rayos X, ECG, ultrasonido, tomografía computarizada.
Un paciente está bajo anestesia general. Dependiendo del tipo de cirugía de próstata, un médico hace incisiones y extirpa la glándula. La duración del procedimiento es de 2-4 horas. Luego, un paciente permanece en un hospital durante 3-5 días. Después de la prostatectomía, un médico coloca el catéter para extraer la orina. Se quita en 7-14 días.
Su duración depende del tipo de prostatectomía. Un paciente necesita seguir una dieta, tomar antibióticos y analgésicos. En 7 días después de la cirugía, un médico retira los puntos. En 1 mes el paciente puede volver al trabajo, en 2 meses — a la actividad física.
El costo de la prostatectomía se ve afectado por los siguientes factores:
