A basic information sheet about your dressings will be given to you in the Day Surgery Ward.
Dr Marshall usually sees patients one week after surgery to check the wound and remove any sutures. This appointment is usually pre-made prior to your discharge from hospital.
It is important that you rest and take care of your wounds, particularly in the first week. This will help with pain relief and also wound healing.
A script for pain relief will be given to you upon discharge from the hospital. Take only if required and as per dosage guidelines on the medication label.
Other forms of therapy and splints may be required and these will be discussed at a post-op visit.
If you have any concerns, please contact our office.
