i have only 5 holes (Da Vinci) in the belly...what is difference?

This is an old video (no offense to the poster!). Anyone getting a biopsy in 2024 should demand a trans perineal biopsy which DRAMATICALLY reduces the risk of infection.

I notice your urine isn’t bloody. Mine was very bloody

Does anyone know if a needle biopsy is necessary if mri and psma pet scans are done? And if it is s necessary, why is it necessary?

Poor sound quality

Big thanks you gave me peace of mind.

I'm going to have a robotic prostatectomy in Austin, Texas on April 9th. Looking forward to viewing your videos. I've been concerned about the catheter, mainly about accidentally pulling on it and yanking it out either when sleeping, getting out of bed at night or walking... or just forgetting about it and doing something unintentional. It seems that it was no problem for you. I will be having a discussion about this with my doctor's assistant before surgery. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make these videos, and cheers from Austin!

Excellent series of videos so far. Thanks.

Excellent video…. Thanks for the details!

So my question would be, to the doctor, does this happen with the transrectal biopsy procedure as well?

Hi Neil i live in the uk ive got mine in 3 days time I've hade a tripal bypass 7 years ago but with this im nervous as hell about having this i found this very informative Graham proseaju

Hi Neil, thanks for the video. I'm hoping to avoid this path. However having an engineer explain it, has been helpful. I guess not everyone can expect no continence or ED complications, but it's good to here there is some hope at least. The stats don't look real flash.

I just had the Biopsy last Tuesday, now waiting results. I'm an electrical Engineer, so actually having another Engineer explain it all works well for me. Thank for that. With respect to the Biopsy, my issue was the dressing they used, it was stuck down really hard and getting it off hurt worse than anything else, and risked upsetting the fresh wound.

I would rather have my teeth pulled

The fact that they do not put anesthetic any other place, but around the house exactly why I will be put under if I have this done. It is absolutely barbaric to have this done while being awake.

Hope your still alive and well!

Hi Neil. I'm watching what looks like the last of your videos which is dated 5 years ago. It's now June , 2023. I was wondering if your still around and ok? It would be really great to get an update of how your going now after your prostate removal. I'm an Aussie who is due for biopsy soon I think. I'm a public hospital patient in Australia unfortunately as I know private health cover ( which I don't have) gives probably better quality service in medical fields. Did you have private health surgery or were your operations done in private hospitals? By the look of your videos I would say private

Thanks for sharing your story. Really appreciate it. Admire your honesty and easy simplification of the procedures. I'm an Aussie almost 66. I had an MRI scan done a week ago and it picked up a small 3mm lesion rated PiRad 4 which means a possible biopsy. My last psa just prior to MRI was 4.1. Seeing specialist in a week's time. Hope your ok. I haven't yet watched your prostate surgery videos yet but I intend to do so

I had mine yesterday. Piece of cake. They said to expect blood in my pee, but it appears clear even after just one day. 16 samples.

Great series of videos!

Thank you for this video, my prostate biopsy will in the next month.

Greatful for the informative videos. Glad your health is good and you doing well. Im also an electronic engineer by profession. I new you were an engineer just by seeing those 3 screens on your desk.😊

I had a biopsy two days ago. Everything went fine and painless. While resting after the biopsy I had a strong sensation of passing stools when I tried, I got dizzy and perspired profusely. Later I found out it may be the mild toxicity of Lidocaine. In 4/5 hours I was back to normal.

Sixteen samples, question is do they withdraw the needle and repuncture the bowel lining sixteen times?

My biopsy was recommended for the exact reason yours was. I'm also 69 years old and my PSA score was starting to rise. My father survived prostate cancer but his brother (my uncle) died from it. Your detailed description was almost identical to mine. Although I was asked to give myself an enema on the day before the biopsy. I had this biopsy done yesterday at the VA Loma Linda, California. I was very nervous about it to say the least - causing high anxiety. I was so nervous (afraid), I took an unauthorized Xanax one hour before just to keep my blood pressure from going too high. The doctor was very good and explained every step as she was doing it. My conclusions: Not nearly as bad as I imagined. Uncomfortable? Yes. Painful? No. The whole procedure took less than 10 minutes. She took 16 very targeted samples from my prostate. Lab results are pending.

I was scheduled for the transrectal biopsy, and was more than a bit concerned. The ultrasound gal, had me lay on my left side, and inserted the probe. She injected the local, which I never felt. The 12 samples were done quickly, under ten minutes, and the only thing I felt was a tingling in the penis. She said all plumbing is connected, and that can happen. I had some blood in the initial urine flow for a day. No infection, and the whole thing was very easy and painless.

Can the patient demand general anesthesia for the procedure?

Bullshit! WTF is he talking about?! It was as it a heavy-duty slingshot was hitting my prostate & nothing less than that over a 15 minute period. I'd MUCH RATHER have a root canal or dental filling done.

your experience put my mind at rest and I'm kinda lost fears on my up coming saturday biopsy procedure. I appreciate for your all encouraging videos i watched.

Well,Neil,all i can say is that my experience of a biopsy was totally different,here in Cork, Ireland. Mine was done over local anaesthetic and overall was pretty awful. Firstly,i was given local anaesthetic up the perineum. Then followed four long core needles, one of which really hurt. The camera probe up back passage was very uncomfortabe and found it difficult to sit down for couple days! Nearly three weeks later, I still pass blood in my urine. I did ring the hospital...nurse said keep drinking plenty of water! I am just dreading any treatments i have to contend with as its 99 percent sure its cancer

Gee Neal many thanks for your post I’m in this position right now and this makes me feel at ease. Best of luck for your future,regards Lee.

Thank you for such shared and forthcoming personal experiences, but....I'm still nervous. -hahaha (only a little; you definitely helped a little). So I'm 47, I have had a second PSA come in at the same 40...and I have a prostate biopsy scheduled for May 31st....still tons of time to 'sweat it out', ughhhhhhh! So I was wondering....has anyone experienced any derogatory side effects? Specifically....has anyone experienced any sort of erectile disfunction? I've got a pretty healthy libido and very active sex life, recently heard it said that this can cause ED, so I'm kinda concerned (to put it mildly)

Ive had both and the Transperineal involves a GA, where the TR does not. Glad itv went well for you, and you are right about infection risk.

In the UK. Had mine in May 21 but it was Transperineal rather than Transrectal. Infection much less likely and probably more comfortable. Mine was fine.

Neil, my experience last October was almost identical to yours with the exception of the communication, or lack thereof, at the start of the procedure. I wasn't ready for the first snap and I jumped a little. The doctor asked what was wrong and I told him the noise startled me given I was a wee bit tense. I told him that I would appreciate him communicating what we was doing before he did it, and after that all went very smoothly. I was tense for a week or so prior to the procedure, and apprehensive as I sat on the table waiting for him to come in and looking at the apparatus, but afterward I told him that I'd do it all again in a heartbeat if he told me we had to. I'm almost done now with a month and a half of radiation treatments and it has gone smoothly.

Hi Neil, who did you go with for your surgery?

Am going in shortly I use a self cathertate for 22 yrs about 12ins long u honestly don't feel a think it's great feeling. Make sure u stand over the toilet or it will go on the floor

Thank you

Your series is much appreciated 👍

well done thanks

Thank 🙏 you for sharing, I am just about to undergo a prostate biopsy & cystoscopy & obviously need reassurance.

Hi Dave. Sorry to hear of your situation, and I hope your experience is as good as mine was. It is now 3 years since my surgery and I have to say i am pleased I had it done, and at the time it was not a biggie - as the videos will show i hope. Please advise of your experience so it will help others. regards from New Zealand.

Catheter was my biggest worry Neil :) Thanks for this

Thank you for doing these videos Neil. All this is likely ahead of me in the new year and this really helps. Best wishes to you and family for this new season and thank you! Dave

Interesting video Early detection is definitely a big advantage. See my short film on my Journey filmed live from Diagnosis to Rehabilitation. I chose having a Robotic Radical Prostatectomy Link to my film below. ua-cam.com/video/PutQPR1-ExA/v-deo.html

Thanks for sharing your journey a treasure for all men I am hoping more families view this............. I also had a Radical Robotic Prostatectomy and filmed my journey all live, It is on UA-cam this link will take you there. ua-cam.com/video/PutQPR1-ExA/v-deo.html

I had mine done about it 3 1/2 hours ago and it feels like he left his foot in my ass. The pain doing the process was far less than I expected but it was the whole concept of the operation that was frightening. On a scale of 1 to 10 the pain that I’m experiencing now would probably be rated as 6 Out of 10

Cancer surgery success hai kya

Thanks for your information. Very helpful! Subbed!

Neil, Great Video, This happened to me, except in the States you get this in a Clinic. It felt like 17 Bee Stings, then if you can't pee, in goes the Catheter. Go home with strong Antibiotics with a warning don't lift anything heavy, you can rip your mussels. I had my wife who is nurse take out the catheter in 2 days. Then make sure you can pee or back to the Doctor.🐡
