Patient Information

Hospital Admission

Hospital Admission: Most patients undergoing Breast Cancer surgery will stay in the hospital usually 1 or 2 nights. Dr Geere will review each patient prior to discharge to ensure there are no wound concerns and that her patient’s are comfortable.

Patients are usually discharged with water-proof dressing in situ. These usually remain in situ for at least 5 days. Analgesia will be supplied if the patient requires.

Some patients will be discharged with drains in situ. Patients will receive education in regards to this prior to being discharged from the hospital.

Dr Geere will review each patient post-operatively for a wound review and to discuss the histology results. Further management plans will be discussed at this post-op review after results discussion and referrals to additional specialist made as necessary.
