Postoperative treatment
Postoperative treatment
Patients are generally given prescriptions for antibiotics, analgesics, antiemetics, and a steroid regimen (Table 74-2). An understanding, available, and competent caregiver at home during the course of recuperation is of paramount importance.
Patients are seen the following morning and the dressings are removed. Flaps are inspected for viability and hematoma or seroma formation, and any visible fluid collections are aspirated. If dressings are to be continued, a less bulky dressing is generally placed. The IV catheter โventsโ are also removed at this appointment.
Patients are then seen at 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. Figure 74-18 shows two patients with differing postoperative recovery responses.
