Post-operative pain is typically mild to moderate. BPH surgeries (endoscopic) involve no skin incisions, so pain is mostly bladder spasms, treated with antimuscarinics. Robotic prostatectomy involves small keyhole incisions; pain is managed with NSAIDs and usually resolves within a week.
Patients can usually drive once the catheter is removed and they are no longer taking narcotic pain medication, typically 1-2 weeks after surgery. However, long car rides should include frequent stops to walk to prevent blood clots.
This is a scarring complication (occurring in 2-5% of cases) where the opening of the bladder scars down to a pinhole size after surgery, obstructing the return. It presents as a weakening stream months after surgery. It is treated with a simple endoscopic dilation or incision.
Prostate surgery for cancer (Radical Prostatectomy) severs the vas deferens and removes the seminal vesicles, rendering the patient sterile (no ejaculation).

BPH surgery typically causes retrograde ejaculation, making natural conception difficult but not impossible (sperm can be harvested from urine or testicles).
