Question
The child was found to have pediatric urethral repair and has undergone surgery for healing. How long generally after the surgery can the child be discharged? What should be paid attention to in the later stage to ensure quick wound recovery?
Answer
The specific discharge time after pediatric urethral repair surgery depends on the child’s recovery situation. Generally speaking, they can usually be discharged around one week. However, it is very important to pay attention to the postoperative care. We should maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the wound to prevent infection that could harm the wound. Additionally, attention should be paid to the child’s diet, avoiding spicy foods, and consuming more light and nutritious foods to aid in physical recovery.
