How long to get out of the hospital with a drain for lipoma surgery on the leg

Lipoma surgery on legs with drainage usually can be discharged in about one week, but the specific discharge time also depends on the location of the tumor, the size of the wound and the recovery of the body, so the discharge time is not fixed. 1. Tumor location: the hospitalization time is closely related to the location of the tumor. If the tumor grows in a location that is not conducive to surgical operation, it will increase the risk of surgery, so this situation may prolong the discharge time. 2. The size of wound: if the tumor is bigger, the wound will be opened when doing drainage, so it is easier to drain the lipoma, and opening a big wound will increase the amount of medicine and the time of discharge. 3. Physical recovery: if the operation process is smooth and the body recovers well, the discharge time will be shortened; if the operation process is not particularly smooth and the body recovers poorly, the discharge time will be prolonged. Under normal circumstances, you can usually be discharged from the hospital about a week after the surgery, which will need to be determined by the doctor’s assessment. After lipoma surgery, it is important to strictly follow the doctor’s instructions for medication and care so that the time of discharge from the hospital can be shortened.
