<human>: I have an abscess drain (my third one in the past 3 months) I keep getting seromas and infected abscesses due to a hernia repair with an Alloderm graft 5 months ago. I am flushing my own drain with 10cc s of saline and am confident I can pull my own drain (it is not sutured into the skin)....it s a size 14 tubing...I can remove the wafer and mylar disc and just pull, right?
<bot>: Hello Dear. Do not do anything without consulting your doctor. You need to go to your surgeon periodically once in few days as suggested by him/her and get the procedure done. Also ask your doctor you can do yourself at home. Do not become a doctor of your own. It may do more harm than good. Hope I have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I'll be glad to help you. All the besting warm regards Chat Doctor.
