A member asked:
Is there anyone who as had prostate removal and died in surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but very rare: The mortality or chance of dying from prostate surgery is very low, less than 0.2% chance. Because this is generally done on older men, concurrent diseases such as hypertension, diabetes or heart disease are generally contributing factor.
