Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I would love to know the answer to this also. I had no drains after a double TKR. Neither did I have any bloody dressing. They took a clean one off each day. A nurse told me my OS used a new procedureand my results were amazing. He didn't mention that to me pre-op. I'll ask him about this when I see him Thursday. I'll report back. Perhaps someone else knows about this?Shirley Garrison <sashaw11@...> wrote: I would like to know much drainage that everyone had with their TKR.Out of the 3 surgery this year the last one (10/16) I'm having a lot.Having to change dressing 2x daily(And it soaked).

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I sure had a lot of drainage after my arthroscopy. I went in the next day and the dressing was soaked. I would have changed it at home but didn't have anything large enough and they didn't send extra home with me. Sherry Re: drainage I would love to know the answer to this also.

Shirley I also didn't have drainage after the drain tube was removed when I left the hospital. I had some up until about 2 weeks after the surgery. It happened where an old scar and the new incision met - apparently, it was harder to heal around the scar tissue. It wasn't bad; certainly didn't soak whole dressings. My doc was not at all worried about it, although he kept me on antibiotics longer than usual because of it. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I had no drainage either time. Very dry clean surgical incision.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 When they removed the drain from my back surgery I saw stars but it was nothing compared to the one in my shin, for the bone harvest. I swear that one was 10 feet (3 meters) long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
