Yep. Had prostate surgically removed and went home the next day and then came back to hospital ICU with an infection... probably was septic since he stayed in ICU for a while. Wonder if they will put him on Lupron injections. Great, we would have a Sec. of Defense with no balls or would that what we already had.
Well the spinectomy was done long ago.
If prostatectomy— then there is overnight stay prior, with loading doses continued through and after the surgery of antibiotic. Typically gentamycin. this was at Bethesda for God’s sake. It could have been emergent if the dude could no longer pee cause his prostate overgrew the common duct shared through the prostate, from the bladder (with its own sphincter cutoff muscle/innervation) through the prostate to the urethra to outside.
If they did a bad job, dude will be incontinent— but it shouldn’t happen in modern surgery. Certainly doesn’t happen in computerized ultrasound plotted aquablation— precise as possible.
Removal of the prostate does not mean “no balls.”
It means you can’t squirt out the semen. The prostate is like a pump.
If certain nervesare damaged, it could mean you can’t get an erection.
Must have had aggressive cancer which can spread to the bones if not removed.
