    Prostate surgery generally costs 5,000-50,000 yuan. The specific cost may be related to factors such as the type of disease, surgical method, anesthesia method, and postoperative recovery.

    The cost of prostate surgery varies widely depending on the type of surgery. Transurethral resection of the prostate is currently a conventional method for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. The cost usually ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 yuan. The procedure is less invasive and has quick recovery. The hospitalization time is generally 3-5 days. Radical prostatectomy requires laparoscopy or robot-assisted technology, which costs about 30,000-50,000 yuan, involving preoperative examination, intraoperative consumables, and postoperative pathological testing. Emergency surgeries such as acute urinary retention may incur additional rescue costs, which will increase by approximately 2,000-5,000 yuan. Due to their equipment and technical advantages, the cost of tertiary hospitals in first-tier cities may be 5,000-10,000 yuan higher than that in second- and third-tier cities. The reimbursement ratio of medical insurance varies according to the type of insurance. Employee medical insurance usually reimburses 60%-80%, and urban and rural residents' medical insurance is about 50%-70%.

    It is necessary to keep the urinary catheter open for 1-3 days after surgery, avoid strenuous exercise for two weeks, and follow the doctor's advice to regularly review prostate-specific antigen. You should reduce your daily intake of spicy foods, drink 1500-2000 ml of water every day, and people who sit for a long time should get up and move for 5 minutes every hour. If hematuria worsens or fever symptoms occur, you must return to the hospital for examination in time.
