Recovery conversation map

Take better recovery questions to your surgical team

Online calendars cannot know the exact operation, findings, discharge plan, or health factors that shape your recovery. Choose a procedure family to organize questions for discharge, the first planned contact, and specialist follow-up.

This is a question organizer, not a recovery schedule. Your own team's written plan and contact instructions override every general point on this page.

Questions after robot assisted prostate surgery

Your operation, catheter plan, urinary recovery, and follow-up schedule are specific to you. Use these prompts to get the plan in writing.

  1. CONVERSATION 1 / DISCHARGE CONVERSATION

    Before leaving hospital

    • Will I go home with a catheter, and who should I contact if it stops draining or leaks?
    • Which wound, pain, urine, or bleeding changes should trigger an urgent call?
    • What movement, lifting, work, driving, and washing limits apply to my operation?

  2. CONVERSATION 2 / DATE SET BY YOUR TEAM

    First planned contact

    • When and where will the catheter be reviewed or removed?
    • Who can help with urinary control or pelvic health questions?
    • Which symptoms should be improving, and which need an earlier review?

  3. CONVERSATION 3 / SCHEDULE SET BY YOUR TEAM

    Specialist follow-up

    • What results will be discussed, and when should I expect them?
    • What follow-up tests are planned and who will arrange them?
    • When should we discuss return to work, exercise, sexual health, and longer-term support?

Urinary, sexual, wound, and general recovery do not all move at the same pace. Ask your team which measures matter for your procedure.

Nothing you choose here is stored or sent anywhere.
