Will I have a drain?
Probably not.
Drains are small tubes used to remove fluid such as blood or serum from the site of surgery.
Dr. Hudson uses drains for two reasons.
One is to remove fluid such as serum or blood which would otherwise collect under the skin.
The other reason is to pull the skin against the underlying tissue to allow it to stick in place.
If drains are needed for your operation Dr. Hudson will usually tell you before surgery.
Sometimes unusual circumstances arise and he will use a drain in a situation in which he was not expecting to use one. This is usually because of excessive bleeding in surgery.
If you have drains which you need to look after you will be given instructions on their care before you go home.
