Its a pretty common surgery. There is always a risk taken. Most ppl do well with the pain. Usually Iv Narcotics for a couple days or some By Mouth pain meds. Some patients never need pain medication at all. Depending on the procedure the patients I have taken care of do much better than Open surgerys or Incisional based Surgeries. 3-5 day hospital stay then DC. Just hope you have a team of DR and Nurses that know what they are doing. Questions there actions if they seem wrong. Make them Wash there Hands… Esp the Interns!
