Emasher Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I don't think there's anything to really be afraid of, unless its something serious or uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzer16 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Have faith in the medical staff - they're there to help you. Although there's always a risk with any surgery you'll be fine! Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh_gamer Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Its because I got 3 abses on my bum. I don't wish to appear thick, but what is this? Good luck with the operation tho. Personally I hate hospitals, and hope I never have to go under the knife during my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 An abscess is a collection of pus that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue on the basis of an infectious process (usually caused by bacteria or parasites) or other foreign materials (e.g. splinters or bullet wounds). It is a defensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to other parts of the body. The organisms or foreign materials kill the local cells, resulting in the release of toxins. The toxins trigger an inflammatory response, which draws large numbers of white blood cells to the area and increases the regional blood flow. The final structure of the abscess is an abscess wall, or capsule, that is formed by the adjacent healthy cells in an attempt to keep the pus from infecting neighboring structures. However, such encapsulation tends to prevent immune cells from attacking bacteria in the pus, or from reaching the causative organism or foreign object. Abscesses must be differentiated from empyemas, which are accumulations of pus in a preexisting rather than a newly formed anatomical cavity.

jayseven Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Dude- I've had eye surgery. My operation was 'routine' but risky. Your operation sounds as if it's routine, and utterly low-risk. Don't worry about it! I mean, it doesn't matter even if you are, you'll be out of it. I'm actually surprised - I don't really count anything as an operation unless it's a full general anaesthetic. You'll be fine! Hospital food really isn;t tha bad, and your situation will mean you won't be in a ward for very long at all. It's fearful, but ultimately a tiny worry. At least you know how it will turn out. Nobody told me that my surgery would alter the status quo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergrunch Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I had to have general anaesthetic a year or so ago, to expose my lower eye teeth. I could have had local, but that would've meant that I'd have had to sit still for 45 minutes and any movement could have caused permanent nerve damage, so I went for the general. It wasn't too bad, but the anaesthetic did make me feel ill for about a week afterwards, though I think such a reaction is fairly rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 OK sorry. Last time I went in to the hospital was to have an x-ray for the orthodontist. But it was the day after the halloween party and I was majorly hung over. When they were x-raying my jaw my vision wen black and my body went weak so I just sat on the floor and waited for it to come back. The nurse looked at me and said, "What's wrong don't you like dentists?" Another time I had to have this camera shoved up my nostrils. I will have to have an operation in a few years, when I've stopped growing, as I can't breathe through my nose. For you medical students I have a bent septum and the tissue is swollen and inflamed (I think that's right). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had something similar done to one of my top teeth but didn't get a choice - I had to get the general anaesthetic. 2 and a half years later it is finally in the right place. 2 or 3 more visits before I get rid of my brace! Really can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefkov Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I've had quite a few operations its's scary to think back. I've lost count of how many on my ears for Gromits. It was like 5 years of them, then 3 years of T-tubes and finally not long ago they were out. I've had one on my face cos I knocked out some teeth and basically ripped my face apart. I figured I'd turn this thread into a general operations thread seeing as though it's back from the depths of page 2 and onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Well it's good to know you came out alright canand. I've just had one operation in my life, I was about 8. I had tonsilitus and had to have my tonsils removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
