What happens following the targeted cryosurgery procedure?
Following the targeted cryosurgery procedure, the patient waits in the recovery room until the anesthesia wears off and then, depending on how he feels, can return home immediately or spend the night at the hospital. The patient goes home with a catheter in place to help with urination the week following treatment. In general, patients can resume a normal lifestyle immediately after the procedure but strenuous activity should be avoided for a few weeks.
