Question 1

why does my doctor say i need general anesthesia for a 30 minute minor tvt surgery?

Accepted Answer

See details : The decision to go with local or general anesthesia ultimately depends on the safety of the patient and the satisfactory outcome of the operation. It needs to thoroughly discussed between the patient, the surgeon and the anesthesiologist.

Question 2

my sister is suffering from a tvt bladder sling surgery.she has been refused a translabial ultrasound and passed around. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Be persistent: It is possible to get help for pain or problems relating to a bladder sling.  Many women get "passed around" before they get helped.  This can be very frustrating.  You need to see someone with a lot of experience taking care of women with mesh complications to determine if your problems are from the sling and to help decide on the best course of action.

Question 3

can an internal infection due to surgery to partially remove mesh of a tvt bladder sling cause an enhancing lesion to develop on the lumbar spine?

Accepted Answer

See PCP first.: Oit depends on what kind of infection, how severe the infection and the proximity to the bladder. I would consult your surgeon to get it checked but go to your pcp first to check on your internal infection.

Question 4

Question 5

Accepted Answer

6-12 weeks: An mcl typically takes 6-12 weeks to heal, depending on severity. It pretty much heals on its own over time without specific treatments. There is seldom a role for any kind if surgical interventions.

Question 6

hydrocele surgery recovery time, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Ask your surgeon: Recovery depends somewhat on size of hydrocele. Best to wear tight or Lycra underpants for compression. Be a couch potato for a week or so. No tennis, basketball or football during that time. Rest will aid recovery

Question 7

does drinkng slow down recovery from surgery?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: Yes, drinking alcohol will slow down recovery from surgery.  Period.

Question 8

i am having surgery..what happens in recovery room?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring.: In the recovery room, nurses led by an anesthesiologist monitor you as you come out from anesthesia. Any pain you perceive will be controlled with IV medication, & you may continue to receive fluids through an iv. For outpatient surgeries, all ivs & catheters are removed, & they make sure you can tolerate oral intake & pain is controlled before you go home. For inpatients stays, you are admitted.

Question 9

what's the   recovery time for metatarsalgia surgery?

Accepted Answer

It depends: On how extensive the surgical procedure is, and how many bones are operated on and what time of fixation (plates, pins, screws) are used.  Talk to an experienced foot surgeon for a more specific answer for your need. Bone typically needs 6 weeks to heal enough to return to most normal everyday activities.

Question 10

how long it will take for recovery from hydrocele surgery?

Accepted Answer

Not long: It is a fairly minor surgery and recovery is not too long. There will be mild discomfort and swelling expected. Most activities would be ok, but check with your surgeon first.
