What supplies to stock up before prostate surgery?

Good list. I'd second using the disposable absorbent pads (which you mentioned) on the bed as one saved me a mess one night when I turned over in my sleep and pulled apart the catheter tube from the bag tubing. The pad absorbed all the urine so cleanup was as simple as putting down a clean pad. As @mjp0512 mentioned I also found triple antibiotic ointment useful for minimizing pain from the tubing rubbing the penis tip. Best wishes.

I did not mention a couple of other things I bought.

One is a dekor diaper pail which stores pads in a sanitart way. Very useful witg a foot pedal to open.

I also bought syringes and saline solutions to flush the cathether if it gets clogged. The Hospital also supplied the same thing, but I did not have to use any of them.
