Hi everyone,
I had my Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy Wednesday 14th, I am now home, no pain at all just this terrible Catheter to put up with, I have a question, I have six holes left from the operation and will have the clips removed around the 26th. My big question is, do I leave the wounds covered with the sticky plasters or do I remove them. I know it's a simple question but I forgot to ask at the hospital I was too eager to get home.
Agree with YoungMan. Infection control. The dressings I had are available over the counter anyway I would think.
Youngman and Dennis, I am going to call the nurse on Monday about getting more night bags the hospital did not give men enough so I will ask then, thanks for the reply.
