There also may be a tube located near the incision to drain fluid and a tube (catheter) may be used to drain urine until the patient is able to use the bathroom. The doctor will prescribe medicine for pain or discomfort....

How Long Are Recovery and Rehabilitation ?

On the day after surgery or sometimes on the day of surgery, therapists will teach the patient exercises that will improve recovery.
