Hi Carlos,
You'll be seen by a nurse who will give you a basic medical.
So expect the following:
Qusestions re. who you are, your contact details, next of kin, any previous medical conditions, any previous surgery you've had and any medication you're under.
Questions relating to your heart, breathing, brain, blood, kidneys and liver (of the Yes / No type).
Questions relating to your hospital admission and discharge e.g. do you live alone, who will care for you after the operation etc.
The nurse will take your height, weight, BMI, pulse, blood pressure and temperature. You will have a blood test and an ECG. Finally you'll be asked to give a urine specimen.
If everything is lined up you'll be through in an hour. Piece of cake. If not, the above may happen in any order. you may be seen by more than one nurse, and you'll probably be in a queue, so I suggest you also take a good book or a fully charged smart phone.
Depending on how your urology department works you may also be invited to attend a Pre-prostatectomy Preparation Clinic. This is a group sesion which introduces the prostate team, what happens during the operation, wound care, dealing with the catheter, erectile dysfunction etc. Otherwise, this (or some of it) could be covered too.
