Hello all
I had a complete hysterectomy and my rectum and anus removed on May 31. Unfortunately, the stitches on the back end have come apart and my surgeon is going to refer me to a plastic surgeon for more surgery.
I'm wondering if folks here who have had plastic surgery can offer some advice about what to expect. How long did it take you to heal? If you didn't get plastic surgery but your stitches came undone, what did your surgeon recommend to have it heal up? Did the surgeon use your own skin from elsewhere on the body to fix the back end? Im worried about that because I've got lichen planus all over my body except for my back. And I also have pyoderma on my leg and in the peristomal area.
Any advice, insight, strategies, and stories of your personal experience would be so helpful!
Thanks.
Kismet.
