1. What is the reason for discharge after phimosis adhesion surgery?

For men with phimosis, the possibility of infection after surgery is generally higher than for men with excessive foreskin. Yellow secretions after surgery may be caused by the Vaseline gauze used for bandaging, or there may be blood stasis in the incision and serum is seeping out; another possibility is infection. It is recommended that you go to the hospital in time and let the attending doctor check you out to avoid affecting the recovery of the wound.

How long does it take to heal after phimosis adhesion surgery?

This requires consideration of whether there is inflammation or adhesion. It usually takes one month for the area to heal. If the adhesion is removed after the operation, just do a good job of disinfection. Generally speaking: Discomfort in the glans penis may occur during the recovery period after circumcision surgery, which is normal. Generally, this feeling will gradually disappear after about a week. It is best to rest for 1-2 days. You can rest in bed, surf the Internet, read a book, etc. Walk as little as possible to prevent postoperative bleeding. There will be slight pain and bruising in the wound after circumcision surgery. You should take painkillers regularly and it will heal in about 7 to 10 days.

2. Methods for preventing postoperative adhesions

Methods to prevent postoperative adhesions include surgical procedures and drug treatment. In terms of surgical procedures, laparotomy should be avoided as much as possible, because the incision is large, the trauma to the peritoneum is severe, and adhesions are prone to occur. Studies have found that the incidence of adhesion below the incision after open surgery is 60% to 90%, while the incidence of adhesion below the incision after laparoscopic surgery is only 14%. Other studies have shown that laparoscopic exploration after open ovarian endometrioma removal revealed adhesion formation in the surgical field in 100% of cases. For patients with a history of laparotomy, the reoperation time will be significantly prolonged due to adhesions.

Follow the principles of microsurgery: Careful and standardized laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery is a prerequisite for reducing postoperative adhesions. The operating principles of microsurgery include magnifying the field of view, non-damaging traction of tissues, careful hemostasis, avoiding foreign bodies in the abdominal cavity, complete removal of diseased tissues, avoiding unnecessary tissue ischemia, correct apposition of tissue layers, careful identification of anatomical layers, and flushing and moisturizing of tissues.
