Prostrate surgery is very common and very minor surgery by today's standard.Your dad is old but don't worry as prostrate is a common problem in the elderly.Be relaxed and everything will be fine.

prostate enlargement is common in elderly, it presents with increased frequency of micturition, urgency and hesitancy. initial line of management is medical to shrink the prostate gland; also it is important to do serum PSA in these cases.
surgery for prostate is TURP which is an endoscopic procedure, so patients are comfortable on the first post- operative day itself.
