Question 1

dental surgery after getting a tatoo?

Accepted Answer

Tattooing face? No!: You don't want a facial tattoo followed by oral surgery.  If either area becomes infected you can cross contaminate contaminate sites.  Frankly, i know the sterility standards met by the majority of dentists.  I don't trust such is the case with tattoo studios.  Get the tattoo, wait a few weeks to see if an infection takes place.  If you feel healthy, then get your oral surgery.

Question 4

pouch surgery in ulcerative coitis y doesn't it work on everybody?

Accepted Answer

Indication 4 surgery: Pouch creation and successful performance in ulcerative colitis patients truly shows the "art" of medical/surgical care. If you have been told by your surgical team that you are not ready, or not a candidate for a pouch, then okay to ask more questions of that team. It is better to stay with an ileostomy than proceed too fast to a pouch. Many factors can derail your ultimate success.

Not rare: I can't give you a percentage, but if you consider all the variety of procedures possible, from oral extractions to skin lesions to orthopoedic repairs to simple hernias to the complex GI procedure to cardiothoracic procedures, there's a good chance something will be needed, and i'm not even including colonoscopy and other endoscopic procedures. Good luck.
