prostate cancer??

Question

Does ayone know of anybody dying because of complications during surgery to remove prostate cancer?? It was caught early.

sorry, the person I'm talking about already died..

just was wondering if it has happened to anyone else.

Answer 1

There are many complications to do with surgery, and most of them will not be to do with the prostate cancer.

(the second link is a pediatric one, but most of the risks there affect adults as well)

Complications of the anaesthetic - people die from reactions to anaesthetic or poor condition of heart or lungs (usually known prior to surgery)

Complications of surgery - bleeding or infection are the nastiest complications here and can cause death.

Complications peculiar to prostate surgery - most of these are not life threatening. They will usually cause difficulty with the genitalia in the form of incontinence, sexual dysfunction, or the ever so wierd retrograde ejaculation.

Prostate cancer??
Does anyone know of anybody dying because of complications during surgery to remove prostate cancer ?? It was caught early.

Any surgery under general anesthesia brings risks to the patient. Some of the causes of death can be previewed and prevented, other ones not, specially in a person who suffers an advanced cancer stage.
I could not understand it the patient died during surgery or as a consequence of a surgical complication.
In case the death was produced during surgery, then there are more likely causes related to the complexity of the surgery or the previous condition from the patient. Both cases, even widely described and known, are impossible to avoid unless the decision to not going for an operation is done.
I just can guess having such a little amount of information, it could have been a lethal intraoperative cardiac arrhythmia, or a massive bleeding due to the invasive cancer in lymph nodes surrounding big arteries, very difficult to stop since the cancer tissue is usually not as firm as to be closed in order to stop the bleeding.
If the patient died after surgery because of complications that happened during surgery, I only can imagine one condition that produces early caught is a massive pulmonary embolism.
Usually a person with a cancer has certain condition that increases the incidence of pulmonary embolism, since the blood clogs more easily. If the patient was severely ill or old before the surgery, with reduced mobility, reason more to consider this classically acute postoperative problem.
It occurs once in a sudden, and if massive, there is no much to be done since death happens almost immediately. In other cases there is time to start a treatment every time the person has enough strength to go through the first difficult hours.
I hope this information could help you,

Go to google and look for it. There is a lot of information about this serious and underrated problem.

Your friend must go to see a specialist, they know, what to do. Most men after this operation are still here, so don't worry - you can die of flu :)

Answer 4

Sorry, but there have been cases of death due to complications, However, it is very rare.
