Surgery and Hospitalization

Depending on how long after the vasectomy you have intercourse, after he had he vasectomy they usually test his sperm on a regular basis until there are no sperm present. If he had his vasectomy months to years ago then no you cannot get pregnant. It is possible it has come undone or is leaking. Regular Dr checkups are a way to prevent that. Old vasectomys were a clip. The clip may not be pinching anymore. Sperm can last up to 20 ejaculations...or 3mths after vasectomy. Be careful. Yes, but the chances are very slim. Vasectomies are the most reliable method of family planning with a failure rate of less than 1 per thousand. The most common reasons for failure are a) that the man didn't wait long enough after the operation (usually 2-3 weeks or 20 ejaculations) before having sex, and b) that the vas deferens spontaneously reconnected. The chances of a failure after properly clearing and being tested at 3 months are put at about 1 in 4000, or 0.025%.

Dr. Daniel Hale William-

James Cornish was dying. He had been carried into the emergency ward at Provident Hospital (which was founded by Dr. Daniel Hale Williams as the first segregated hospital) on Chicago's South Side, bleeding from a knife wound in his chest.

Dr. Daniel Hale Williams called for six of his fellow black physicians to help him get the dying man into an operating room. Carefully making an incision in his patient's chest, Williams exposed the man's still-beating heart and his near-fatal wound.

Williams and his surgeons sewed up the ragged gash located to the right of the heart, and, saying a prayer, sutured the chest incision, ending the world's first open heart surgery. The year was 1893.

Circumcision is usually an outpatient procedure meaning you will go home immediately after the surgery. However there is a two to three week recovery period, but the severe pain usually lasts no longer than a week or 10 days.

keep doing R.I.C.E rest, ice, compression, and elavation as much as possible!

if your in pain though, go get your knee checked out again, surgery is supposed to make you feel better, not worse.

Usually doc's say after a week, unless you do heavy lifting or laboring at your job. MY EXPERIENCE... I returned to work at a manual labor job after only 2 weeks. (They say you may return to desk jobs and jobs that aren't as strenuous at about 2 weeks.) As a result of my going back too soon, I am still having problems. I have a pain near one of the incisions (laproscopic) that is gradually getting better, but still giving me problems. One doctor says it is a nerve and another says it is a muscle problem. I had my surgery in October 2007 and it is now mid-September 2008. Be careful!!!

It just means you have gotten away from the fundamentals you learned right after surgery. I suggest you check out the Living After Weight Loss Surgery Website (link below) and try their 5 Day Pouch Test....it gets you back to losing weight!

Sometimes it means that your new stomach has stretched out and is no longer limiting your food intact as it once did. There is a new fix for this problem, called Stomaphyx, but you need to see if you qualify. Ask your doctor about the procedure.

-tom is the medical terminology combining form meaning to cut or incision. For instance, keratotomy is cutting the cornea, and computed tomography is the process of using a computer to make virtual cuts to visualize internal structures.

If you have ever had gallstones or gall attacks, you would say gallbladder surgery is necessary. The surgery can typically be done with a laser leaving only small incisions and scars. Gallstones are especially painful and can cause nasty symptoms such as diarreha, vomitting, etc.

It depends on the condition of the gallbaldder. You should consult a doctor to be sure. You can also ask for a second opinion.

The usual treatment for gall stones is to surgically remove the gallbladder. If the patient is not a good candidate for surgery, the doctor may prescribe medications to dissolve cholestrol gall stones, but the medications may take years to completely dissolve the stones.

Treatment for gall bladder cancer may also involve surgery.

No, unfortunately, we are to avoid aspirin and all NSAID (non-steroidal inti-inflamatory) meds, which includes ibuprofen, naproxen, etc. The only over-the-counter oral pain releaver we are supposed to take is acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Seven at one time is the largest I know of.

You can do anything you want to do. As long as you don't have an underlying bone problem such as osteoporosis. They are a godsend for these patients who've dealt with bad arthritis for years. Most people will be able to do much more than they could before the surgery.

The first organ transplant occurred in 1954, when Ronald Lee Herrick donated one of his kidneys to his brother, Richard. The surgery was led by Dr. Joseph Murray, who later won a Nobel prize for developing the surgical technique regarding kidney transplants. The surgery took place in Boston, Massachusetts.

No. You will get "dry sockets" wchich are very painful and require more dental work!

You don't. We all get what we get and have to make the best of it. Like any other physical feature, penis size is determined by our genes and there is nothing that is going to change it. Some guys get 2 inches and some get 12 but the majority get around 6.

If the appendix bursts it's very dangerous. Infants, young children, and older adults are at highest risk. A ruptured appendix can lead to peritonitis and abscess. Peritonitis is a dangerous infection that happens when bacteria and other contents of the torn appendix leak into the abdomen. In people with appendicitis, an abscess usually takes the form of a swollen mass filled with fluid and bacteria. In a few patients, complications of appendicitis can lead to organ failure and death.

A nosocomial infection is any infection caught at a health care facility or place of treatment. The cause is usually improper infection control measures at the facility, although nowadays they are present in most all health care locations. Protect yourself by washing hands before, during, and after being in health care facilities.

A bariatric docotr is a doctor that sees patients that have stomach problems and that includes weight loss. A bariatric doctor provides weight loss surgery, nutritional meal plans, exercise plans, medications and much more to there patients.

The size, color and texture of labia vary from woman to woman. There is no 'normal' standard because of genetics. It would be like asking what is the cause for a long nose. However, friction from various activities, both sexual and non sexual can effect the size, color and texture of both the labia majora and labia minora. This is why some women have very small pale labia and others have very large, protruding, heavily textured/wrinkled labia.

Sinusotomy (sigh-nuhs-OT-oh-mee) is the medical term meaning surgical incision into a sinus. This procedure is used in the treatment of chronic sinusitis.
