Yeah they said because of the area of the surgery they couldn't risk me peeing on anything and also something about not being able to cross the table so it made it easier for them? Some shit like that. When I woke up I couldn'tpee and it hurt really bad,so imagine getting a catheter put in while you have a scratched urethra and a UTI. It was hell, they kind of had to hold me down. And then my wife said they could have used numbing gel,and they didn't.They gave you a catheter for that surgery? When I had my gall bladder removed they didn't put one in me. In fact, they let me leave as soon as I took a leak and ate. Took me to the next morning though. Surprised to hear that.
Bro. BRO. IM SO SORRY.
I can think of at least two reasons:
1) The longer you wait between the clinic visit and the operation, the more likely the surgeon will forget salient details about your medical history and physical exam. You think the average surgeon writes well-detailed notes? Have you read them? Surgeons operate at their best when the details are still fresh in their memory.
2) At least in the United States, for administrative/insurance purposes the operation must be linked with a clinical note. That clinical note is considered valid and accurate for up to 30 days. Longer than that, then the surgeon has to document a completely new note in order to proceed with the operation. That's bureaucratic red tape, which results in an irritated surgeon. Pre-op/OR nurses probably have seen a million eye rolls while saying the phrase, "You need to update the H&P." You don't want an irritated surgeon right before he makes an incision.
While becoming less common, it's not unheard of to have an urinary catheter during an appendectomy. The appendix is located in the right lower quadrant, adjacent to the bladder. A patient who didn't void prior to heading to the OR might have a distended bladder, which could affect the removal of the appendix, especially since a suprapubic port site is a common location during laparoscopic appendectomy. In contrast the gallbladder is located in the right upper quadrant, about 350 kilometers away from the urinary bladder.
Damn. reminds me when they first gave me the contrast fluid IV, that was not pretty. I had to switch to the contrast fluid you drink then wait 30 minutes beforehand.
You have one ball?
I have a case of that stuff in my place. Just because, I have to go in for so many scans. I will have to say of the 3 flavors of contrast I've had, banana is by far the worse. Berry is the best. Orange is meh.
Yeah I almost lost both of them but lucky for me only one of them had cancer.
Honestly balls don't matter too much like it's not like having a micro penis.Yeah I almost lost both of them but lucky for me only one of them had cancer.
Inguinal Hernia surgery (that's where your intestine falls down into your scrotum).
Wisdom teeth. Total gastrectomy, jejunostomy, lymphadenectomy, laparoscopic lymphandectomy, esophagectomy.
I'm always shocked that so many people don't realize just how common this is. A damned good percentage of young boys get one of these in their early years.
