Answer Varies: If you are talking about placement of a percutaneous tube into your kidney, you can typically cover them and shower immediately. Some docs will allow you to shower right over exiting tubes and drains. If they are laparoscopic wounds, typically ok after a day or two. "weeping" seems like a lot of drainage. Should have settled in 2-3 days after surgery. You need to check with your surgeon.

Soon: If small incisions and sealed, can shower almost immediately. Drainage should be minimal, or none. If very much, see the surgeon. If fever, smell, pain see now!
