A member asked:
What to do if i had laproscopic surgery 5 days ago and the dermabond in my navel accidentally came off, what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry dressing: The wound will pretty much have come together within 48 hours, so after 5 days, having the dermabond fall off is of no concern. Put a clean dry dressing on top so it does not get irritated by your shirt or belt. Even if a small amount of fluid appears on the dressing, it should be okay. Call you surgeon if the incision gets red or drains cloudy yellowish or greenish drainage.
