|
Multidisciplinary examination of patients: Urologist Anesthetist ENT doctor Dentist General practitioner/Cardiologist The radiologist physical therapy doctor And other specialists as needed | Sealed continuous urethral suture with 4–6/0 monofilament thread | Continuation of prevention of thromboembolic complications by compression of the lower extremities and the use of low-molecular-weight heparins |

|
Avoiding the use of cleansing enemas | | Strict adherence to postoperative hygiene of the genitals (when using an adhesive bandage, the patient is recommended to take a hygienic shower daily from the second day) |
