Retrograde ejaculation. (vasectomy may be performed to prevent infection) *After total prostatectomy (cancer), the risk for impotence is high. if this is unacceptable to the PXT, options to produce erections are: -prosthetic penile implants, negative-pressure (vacuum) devices, and pharmacologic interventions.

***Nursing Interventions Prostate Cancer p. 3916

1. Identify ways to reduce pressure on operative area after prostatectomy -Avoid prolonged sitting (chair, long car rides), standing, walking -Avoid straining, such as during exercises, bowel moment, lifting, sex 2.

Prostatectomy (Prostatic Cancer & BPH -TURP) Nursing Process - Planning & Goals PREOP Interventions p. 3927

1. Reduce anxiety/teach about the disorder, preoperative experience. Verbalize feelings & concerns 2. Postop goals, fluid volume balance, pain relief & discomfort, ability to perform self-care and absence of complications 3. Relieving discomfort: Intervention Preop: Bedrest, analgesics, relive anxiety. -monitor voiding patterns, watch for bladder distention, assist w/catheterization. -Indwelling catheter is inserted if PXT has continuing urinary retention or if close monitoring is needed b/c lab test indicate azotemia (nitrogenous waste in blood), *catheterization helps decompress bladder gradually (too quick can cause Hypotension), esp useful in over PXTs that are HTN, diminished kidney function, urinary retention that has existed formally weeks. -Few days after bladder begins draining Blood pressure may fluctuate and kidney function may decline. -If PXT cannot tolerate catheter, he is prepared for a cystotomy (insertion of a suprapubic catheter) 3. Providing Education: Preop: Reviews PXT anatomy of affected structures/function. Web based education before/after surgery -Antiembolism stockings are applied before surgery to prevent VTE, especially important to prevent VTE if PXT is place in a lithotomy position during surgery. (intervention)

BPH Medical Mgmt p. 3908

1. Retention catheter (Emergency PXT unable to void) *Cystotomy: incision into the bladder may be needed to provide drainage. 2. PXTs with mild to severe symptoms who are not bothered by them and have not developed complications may be manages with "watchful waiting". Monitored and reexamined annually but no active intervention. Other PXTs explore pharmacological Tx, minimally invasive procedures and surgery.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)

Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy p. 3914

1. Teletherapy - Beam: 5 days a week for 5 1/2 wks (external beam radiation therapy); experimenting w/ cpu controlled radiation therapy. 2.Brachytherapy: Interstitial radioactive seeds placed in prostate organ. -Avoid contact w/pregnant persons, infants. -Strain urine -Avoid sex or use condom for 3 wks after insertion (to catch seeds) 3. SE: Inflammation of rectum & bowel, painful urination

Prostatectomy (Prostatic Cancer & BPH -TURP) Nursing Process - POSTOP Interventions Complications [Catheter Problems] p. 3931

Catheter Problems 1. TURP: must drain well, obstructed catheter produces prostatic distention -> Hemorrhage. Will create urge to void from placement and bladder spasms. -Furosemide (Lasix) prescribed to promote urination and initiate postop dieresis, helps keep catheter patent. -Observe lower abdomen, distinct rounded swelling above pubis = overextended bladder -> bladder scanner to determine if urine retention is the problem. -BP, pulse, RR are compared to baseline to detect hypotension. -Observe for restlessness, diaphoresis, pallor, drop in BP and incr pulse rate -Drainage: Closed sterile drainage system, 3 way lumen to drain and prevent clot formation. CBI used with TURP. -Amount of drainage = fluid instilled. Over distention of the bladder should be avoided ->secondary hemorrhage. -Secured to inner thigh to prevent traction on the bladder. -Cystostomy catheter secured to abdomen. -Bladder spasms: anticholinergics given. Perineal, Suprapubic or retropubic surgery -Urine may leak around the wound for several days. -Some urinary incontinence may occur after catheter removal and will subside over time. -Urinary freq, burning after removed.

Prostate Cancer Metastasis Screening p. 3913

Determine if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. 1. Bone scans 2. Skeletal X-rays 3. MRI 4. Pelvic CT scans 5. ProstaScint: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibody (detect recurrent prostate cancer at low PSA levels or metastatic disease. 6. Vaccine: (Provenge) Developed to kill cancer cell and help provide immunity for men with metastatic disease.

Prostate Cancer Assessment & Diagnostic p. 3912

If caught early, the likelihood of cure is high. 1. DRE: Routine repeated (preferably by same Dr.) *nodule w/in the gland or as an extensive hardening in posterior lobe. 2. PSA levels: >4/ng/ml = elevated, 4-10ng/ml suspicious -> Confirm with repeat test->biopsy 3. Ultrasound-guided TRUS w/biopsy: 4. Diagnosis of cancer is confirmed by histologic examination of tissue removed surgically by TURP, open prostatectomy, or ultrasound-guided transrectal needs biopsy (Gleason Score 1-10). Fine needle aspiration (quick, painless) 5. Prosta Scint: Detects recurrence early 6. Vaccine: (Provenge) Developed to kill cancer cell and help provide immunity for men with metastatic disease. Most prostate cancers are detected when a man seeks medical attention for symptoms of urinary obstruction or are found by routine DRE & PSA testing. Also found from TURP. -DRE/PSA: elevated levels raise suspicion of cancer but confirmed w/ prostate biopsy.

Signs and Symptoms of Infection/Post op S&S

Infection: Fever, chills, sweating, myalgia, dysuria, ruinary frequency, urgency. Contact HCP. Post op: Hematuria, decr urine output, fever, change in wound drainage, calf tenderness)

Prostatectomy (Prostatic Cancer & BPH -TURP) Nursing Process - POSTOP Interventions Complications [Hemorrhage] p. 3930

Major Complications: Hemorrhage, Infection, VTE, Catheter Problems, Sexual Dysfunction. 1. Hemorrhage/Shock: Discontinue Aspirin, NSAIDs, Antiplatelet 10 to 14 days before surgery to prevent excessive bleeding. -Prostate very vascular, bleeding may cause clots and obstruct urinary flow. -Drainage: begins reddish-pink and then clears to light pink w/in 24hrs. -Bright red bleeding w/increased viscosity and numerous clots indicate arterial bleeding. Requires surgical intervention. -Darker/less viscous = venous blood. Controlled w/prescribed traction to the catheter so that the balloon holding catheter in place applies pressure to the prostatic fossa. (tapes to thigh). 1A. Nursing interventions include closely monitoring V/S, meds, IV fluids and blood component therapy, I&O's, monitoring drainage to ensure urine flow & potency of drainage system.

Prostate Cancer Metastases p. 3911

May be the first indications of prostate cancer. 1. Backache 2. Hip pain 3. Perineal/rectal discomfort 4. Anemia 5. Weight loss 6. Weakness 7. Nausea 8. Oliguria 9. Spontaneous pathologic fractures (broken bones caused disease rather injury.)

BPH Surgical Mgmt p. 3909

Minimally Invasive Therapy 1. Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT): involves the application of heat to the prostate. Target tissue becomes necrotic and sloughs. 2. Transurethral Needle Ablation (TUNA): low wave radiofreq delivered by thin needles, localized heat destroys tissue. *Prostatic steps are associated with significant complications, encrustation, infection, chronic pain, therefore, they are used only for PXTs w/urinary retention or PXTs who are poor surgical risks

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Non cancerous enlargement or hypertrophy of the prostate. One of the most common diseases in aging men.

***Urinary Retention Nursing Process p. 3915

Nursing Interventions 1. Determine usual pattern 2. S/S of urinary retention -amount, freq, suprapubic distention, complaints of urgency & discomfort 3. Catheterize to determine residual volume 4. Initiate measures to treat retention -Normal position for voiding -Recommend valsalva maneuver ONLY PREOP unless contraindicated. -Cholinergic agent, Monitor effects of meds 5. Consult w/HCP regarding intermittent or indwelling catheterization. -Monitor, maintain sterility of closed system, irrigate as required. Prepare PXT for surgery if indicated.

Uncomplicated BPH S&S

Obstructive symptoms vs Classic uncomplicated BPH

Model of Sexual Assessment & Intervention

PLISSIT 1. Permission: recognize personal factor 2. Limited Information -> PXT's comfort zone 3. Specific Suggestions -> good listening 4. Intensive Therapy -> more complicated issues referred to a specialist

Prostatectomy (Prostatic Cancer & BPH -TURP) Nursing Process - Planning & Goals POSTOP Interventions p. 3929

Post Op: 1. Maintain Fluid Balance -Due to irrigation of surgical site during/after surgery -Due to continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) to prevent obstruction by blood clots, fluid may be absorbed thru open surgical site and retained, incr risk of excessive fluid retention, fluid imbalance, water intoxication. -Urine output (I&O's) and amount of fluid used for irrigation must be closely monitored to determine if fluid is being retained and to ensure adequate urine output. -I&O including irrigation fluids. -Monitor for fluid and electrolyte (F&E) imbalances (hyponatremia), incr blood pressure (BP), confusion and respiratory distress. -Bladder spasms: urgency to void, feeling pressure or fullness in bladder, bleeding from urethra around catheter. Meds to relax smooth muscles can help spasms (flavoxate [Urispas] & oxybutynin [Ditropan]) *Warm compress on pubis or sits baths help relive spasms. 2. Monitor drainage of tubing for obstructions -Catheter irrigated with 50mL of irrigating fluid at a time. (3 lumen). *Same amount of fluid should be recovered in drainage receptacle. -Secure the drainage tube to leg or abdomen to decr tension on the catheter or prevent bladder irritation. Dressings should not be too snug. -Analgesics: Notify HCP if pain meds not working -Post op: when PXT is ambulatory, encouraged to walk but not sit for prolonged periods, b/c this increases intra-abdominal pressure and possibility of discomfort & bleeding. Intervention: Prune juice, stool softness are provided to ease bowel movements and prevent straining. Enema given with caution to avoid rectal perforation.

TURP Pros/Cons

Pros 1. Avoids abdominal incision 2. Safer surgical-risk 3. Shorter hospital stay 4. Lower morbidity rate 5. Less pain 6. Palliative approach w/ HXY of radiation therapy Cons 1. Highly skilled surgeon 2. Recurrent obstruction 3. Urethral trauma 4. Stricture may develop 5. Delayed bleeding may occur

BPH Surgical Mgmt (TURP) p. 3910

Surgical Resection 1. Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP): Removal of inner portion of prostate through an endoscope inserted through the urethra (ultrasound guided). Performed outpatient. Usually less post op bleeding than traditional surgical prostatectomy. *Most common procedure, Resectoscopic excision and cauterization of prostate tissue -Can cause retrograde ejaculation -3 lumen catheter: continuous bladder irrigation (CBI), to achieve/maintain clear outflow and prevent close formation within the bladder. Initial rate is fast to achieve clear outflow. Stopping and clamping is done only under HCP direction and not expected until at least 1 day post op. If CBI becomes brighter red, increase the flow (CI if irrigation stopped) 1. ballon 2. irrigation inflow 3. outflow -urinary catheter can cause bladder spasms and create the urge to void even while catheter is working *Assess for respiratory paralysis if spinal anesthesia used. No need for deep breath and cough. *Dribbling of urine can persist for several months, may need to use pads for incontinence, won't be a chronic problem. PostOp 3 (Days) 1. Large amount of fluid (should be almost clear) 2. Call HCP is urine turns bright red

Prostate Cancer TRUS p. 3912

Transrectal ultrasound 1. Detects non palpable prostate cancers & assists with staging of localized prostate cancer. 2. Needle biopsies of prostate are guided by TRUS

Uroflowmetry

measures rate and degree of bladder emptying/urinary obstruction
