Abstract: Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate gland, significantly impacting the quality of life in aging males. Prostatectomy remains a definitive treatment for severe BPH cases unresponsive to medical therapy. Nursing care is crucial in preoperative preparation, postoperative recovery, and patient education. Case Presentation: This case study discusses a 59-year-old male patient diagnosed with BPH who underwent an open prostatectomy at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital. Detailed nursing assessments, interventions, and outcomes are described. Conclusion: Nursing management focusing on preoperative education, postoperative monitoring, pain control, early mobilization, and catheter care contributed to the patient’s successful recovery and early discharge. Integrating evidence-based nursing practices ensure optimal patient outcomes in surgical settings.
