How can I make a wound from a minor operation heal faster?

---

On Monday I am going to have an AVM (hole) in one of my lungs fixed. This will significantly increase oxygen flow around my body. I will need to have 2 needle size holes in my groin for the coil to go up through an artery to fix the hole. I have had this operation done before with great results. How can I make it heal faster this time by eating fruit etc and any other tips?
Many thanks in advance
I had my ACL repaired and the scar was really ugly at first. My ortho told me it would heal faster if I took baths (once he okayed it) with some stuff called "instant ocean" that you can get in pet stores or big discounters in the pet aisle. It makes the water really salty, but it works to heal wounds really fast. I never heard of it before he told me about it but have used it on every surgical scar and wound ever since. Now that I think about it, epsom salts would probabably do the same thing. Good luck with your procedure.  (+ info)

What is the chance that in an operation you won't be put to sleep properly?

---

I read a story about someone wo wasn't put to sleep properly in an operation but they numbed her so she couldn't tell them, and she was awake when they cut her open! What is the chance that that would happen in an operation? Please help!
It is described in the literature as 1:100,000. Usually the only sensation is really hearing, since it's the last to be anesthetized.

Usually the docs try their best to make sure that you're asleep, by monitoring your face, your heart rate/blood pressure, your movements, in order to make sure you're well under.

The people that tend to get the awake sensation like in the movies are extremely rare and in the lottery ticket odds.  (+ info)

This person "Questa Q" keeps posting the same link for every question. I suspect this may be a computer virus. Play it safe & don't click on it.

The procedure is a choleycystectomy. Average time is between 1-2 hours for either a "lap choley" (laparascopic) or an "open choley" (a larger abdominal incision). The major diference between the two is the length of the incision and recovery time. Time is affected by any complications that may have been encountered.  (+ info)

How long do I have to wear surgical brace after jaw operation?

---

I had surgery on both my upper and bottom jaw, including splitting the maxilla. After the operation I have to wear this really uncomfotable brace for positioning my bite and keeping the maxilla stretch. It is really painful and I can't eat much. Can someone tell me what is the minimum time for wearing such brace. I am a healty active person, and my injuries usually heal fast. Thanks.
I think you have to wear them for 6 weeks. I can't remember. My friend had an operation and had to wear them. She was put on a liquid diet. Try taking some asprin to help sooth the pain. It won't hurt after a while.  (+ info)

What should I do if a surgeon accidently left in tubing during operation?

---

I had surgery over 10 years ago. The surgeon accidently left tubing in. He suggested that I leave it there considering that another invasive operation has risks. I am now having pain and can see the tube protruding from my skin. I don't know what to do or where to start.
Go to the doctor. Despite what the other person says a surgeon won't just take it out, and is not obligated to take it out because you want it out. But if its causing problems you should seek a different doctor and ask his opinion, and frankly consult a lawyer as well, as you possibly have a malpractice case. However, if a surgeon deems that it is more dangerous to take it out than to leave it in then you may not find someone willing to operate to take it out.  (+ info)
