Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation or Coagulation
What care do my incision sites need?
- Keep your incisions clean and dry. Do not apply perfumed lotions or talcum powder to any incision.
- Wear clothes that are loose fitting or non-irritating to the incisions.
- It is common for the incision on your belly button to leak a small amount of watery, pink-coloured fluid after the operation. This may last for 2-3 days.
- Dissolvable sutures (thread) are used and do not have to be removed.
- You may have white strips (steristrips) over the incisions. If still on 7 days after the surgery, remove in a downward motion. There is no need to apply Bandaids®.
