Urachal fistula surgery usually requires 7-10 days of hospitalization.
Urachal fistula is formed by congenital abnormalities of urachus and can be removed by surgery. If the patient is in good health and recovers quickly after surgery, he can be hospitalized for about 7 days. However, if the patient's physical condition is poor, the wound healing speed is relatively slow and it requires hospitalization for about 10 days.
It is very important to keep the surgical wound clean and dry after surgery. Wound care should be carried out according to the doctor's instructions. In addition, patients should pay attention to the wound for signs of infection such as redness and increased secretions.
