Safe Recovery After Operations

Discharge from hospital does not mean recovery is over. The days and weeks after an operation are often when complications are most likely, and when close monitoring matters most.

Post Surgery Care: common questions

How long will I need a nurse after surgery?

It depends on the operation and your recovery. Some patients need a few days of visits; others need care for several weeks. We adjust as you heal.

Can you remove stitches and drains at home?

Our nurses manage drains and wounds as instructed by your surgeon, including removal when the surgeon advises it is safe.

Will you communicate with my surgeon?

Yes. We follow your surgeon's instructions and keep them informed of your progress and any concerns.
