Pathology Report After Surgery

Welcome to the forum and the brotherhood no one wants to join. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the experiences of members here. You won’t get medical advice, of course, but you may learn some things that can help you along your journey.

I had my pathology results 2 weeks after surgery. Your experience may vary. I requested genomics studies and that took an additional 6/weeks.

Good luck on your journey. We’re here for you.

I had my NS RALP at Mayo Phoenix in late June 2024 and it took a week for the pathology report to show up on their portal. The surgical notes were there in a day or two.

I would think it depends on the facility. I'm with Kaiser and had the pathology back within 4 days

I had Robot Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy (RALP) 01/2022 by surgeon/oncologist/urologist from Karmanos Cancer Center (a COE) and part of Detroit Medical Center but in a Trinity Health OR near home (complicated but nice to be able to pick and choose in a large urban area).
I had initial results the afternoon after surgery (large gland, areas seen on MRI and PET Scan as expected) plus Extra-capsular extension. That was expected and now confirmed.
Karmanos doesn't have a portal but before I left the hospital 4-days later (long stay complicated by finding A-fib during OR prep) I had the full rundown from my doctor.
Yup! No 2 of us are the same.
Best of luck and care and strength on your own journey.

Mine was at Mayo Jacksonville and I believe it was one or two days after surgery. I stayed in Jacksonville for two days after surgery and Dr. called me before I left for home. I think it may have been on my patient portal one day after surgery.

I had my surgery at Mayo on June 24 of this year. My pathology report was available to me on the portal that same evening.
