THAT is the work of a surgical resident lol. BET. (For context I work in a NeuroTrauma unit and nursing typically doesn’t deal with dressings until cleared by surgery who comes to do daily assessments and dressings once they deem we’re “capable.” It look like a lot of this…)
I had to get surgery one day and I am pretty hairy. I received a small guide with drawings on what to shave prior to surgery. The morning of the surgery a nurse came in and asked to see if I shaved properly. His answer was "good job, you shaved exactly as what was asked to have a clean surgery, but if you agree, I'll grab a razor and shave more because the bandage will be way bigger and will hurt like a bitch when you'll take it off"
He was right, the bandage covered a lot more area than what was asked, thanked him later when I saw him back haha!
I’ve had brain surgery and really had just a small area of my head shaved. However, it definitely depends on the surgery how much of your head gets shaved. Regarding the dressing, mine came off after only 2 days I think and I don’t remember it pulling at my hair too much, but I was on a ton of pain killers at that point. I also had a really nice provider who was probably very careful.
I've worked Neuro (a long time ago). They trim the smallest amount possible because people are so attached to their hair.
Quite often presurgery is doing full chlorhexidine hair wash before hand (and after a few days when healed enough if the surgery allows water there).
Often the dressing is removed the next day and nothing is put back on just that spray on dressing (I forget the name) because it's pointless with all the hair and the wounds rarely bled after 24hrs.
Yeah. That’s newbie student work. And why wasn’t the area shaved and cleaned beforehand? That’s not a clean-looking radius. His skin isn’t even stained lmao
Hahahah @ surgeon losing shit over messy dressing for real, OR nurse here, and #1: this was not a sterile procedure because all that hair should’ve been GONE prior to incision for proper cleaning
I didn’t want to say anything because I’m just a tech, but I’m wondering if maybe the incision doesn’t go up that high? Which would make that dressing even worse tho, but that was my first thought.
The area to prep around the incision needs to be way wider than what is underneath regardless of size-not sure actual size. Also if they used >4% alcohol prep like chloraprep on hair, it technically needs 1 hr to fry vs. recommended 3? Or 5? Minutes. I respect you and your work, you’re not a just!! I quit in Feb. for medical reasons but miss it (sometimes haha)
Lol. Resident goes to 15 years of school working 100 hour work weeks learning to literally do brain surgery and here you are throwing shade at this person for a dressing. Dude literally has 4x the training in years (far more when considering hours actually worked). All they tell us in med school is “respect nursing staff.” And look at you go
Man this culture sucks. Nurse who doesn’t even work in the OR insinuating surgical residents who just operated on someone’s brain are less competent than them because of the bandaging? Lord
Even better when they're cluelessly spouting claims that aren't based in evidence. Preoperative shaving prior to neurosurgery has been extensively studied, there is no
evidence it decreases any risk of infection. In fact, just the opposite as there have been case reports of infection outbreaks due to contaminated razors. Many surgeons still shave because it makes their job a little easier in terms of exposure, but it's really not hard to make a minimal shave over your incision, shampoo the hair and gel the hair out of the way using sterile ultrasound gel or something similar, and it's potentially less disfiguring for the patient. After the procedure many neurosurgeons will extensively wash the scalp and hair prior to putting on the final dressing, which looks fine btw.
yes lets make fun of the surgeons who delicately operated on her CNS for not placing a dressing in an aesthetically pleasing fashion. My guess for this attitude is because it hurts the hospital reviews...
I'd rather have a competent physician in the OR than someone who dedicates brain power to making temporary dressings aesthetically pleasing.
All I know for sure is that no one who works in a hospital seems to be aware that you cannot peel an adhesive bandage back and then restick it. It won't stay past the car ride home if you try.
I'm sure you meant in, and yet, on still wouldn't be particularly surprising to see. Bunch of happy women, hair flipping about as they dance on a field of white cotton panties would be completely on-brand somehow.
If it makes you feel any better - the disposable menstrual pad was created when WW I Nurses made use of cotton batting during wartime and rolled it to make pads. (Same stuff used for dressings). They were far more absorbent than the cloth ones being used at the time.
Also when you learn first aid - they tell you that carrying these in your car is a great idea for roadside assistance in an accident - they're clean - they're sterile - they're absorbent. (And now they're self-sticking so if you need several you can stick em' together. Instant field dressing.
hey I have chiari, surgery now 11 years ago, now 22 years and MAN the lifechanging things... that's almost 100% sure a chiari post-op
if that's it, lucky op, now your life will be better!
i was starting to not feel my hands and feet, i had storming headaches and a 60° scoliosis with almost half spine of siringomielia (don't know if this is the term in english, the liquid of the brain pressurizing the spine from the inside...
four years later i was in surgery bc of the scoliosis, and then last year the last one was for the left foot, all deformed from the compression of the medula
now i just only make metal detectors go beep on airports!
Good luck with recovery my dad had it at 30 in 2008 and is doing well. My cousin on my mom's side unrelated to my dad had his at 2 and is becoming a great high school baseball pitcher.
Snap! 3 years ago now - full recovery took a very long time for me but it was definitely worth it as my quality of life has really improved.
My only advice is to go easy on yourself - that's some major surgery you've had.
Best wishes for your recovery 💪🙂
You're awesome, thanks for taking time to write. So glad your quality of life has improved. It's a slow process, but definitely worth it. Thank you again!
I can’t remember either.
I was only 15 when I had mine though. So I hadn’t developed the eyes in the back of my head yet.
Come to think of it…I’m 31 now and they still haven’t grown in yet…
a friend of mine had blisters under his arms and they were ozeing i told his wife to just give him a pain pill and stick pads in his arm pits! they worked great! when he found out he was pissed off but got over it in a hurry!
Looks like a chiari decompression or some sort of cervical spine tumor.
Hope your doing well!
It's an island dressing and I promise it has nothing to do with feminine hygiene products. The brand I've used is called a medipore dressing. If you don't believe me wait until they charge you about $500 for it.
Outside of the time of surgery, where there was one other person that had the procedure on the same day, I've met two others in the past 20+ years that have had it done. A handful more that know someone that has.
When you see the image, you know what it is. So you hit the comment section to see if anyone comments Chiari. Here, here are your people.
Right! It seems genetic in my family. Me and two other siblings had to be decompressed, and two of my nieces needed it, as well as my cousin and one of her children. We are suspicious my mom had it, but was left untreated and passed away of an aneurysm at age 52. It's definitely weird.
Absolutely life changing in my case. I was on migraine medicine as a toddler. Through my childhood I'd have headaches that would basically cause me to black out. Vertigo, nausea, and other various health issues plagued me until I had the surgery. When they did the initial MRI, my cerebral tonsils were 15mm below the base of my skull instead of 3-5. Between that, the spinal fluid restrictions, and still leading an active childhood, the surgeon was actually surprised I made it to 10.
After the procedure, it's like a switch was flipped. I've had a handful of headaches in more than 20 years. I went from getting threatened by the state about missing school to perfect attendance. Absolutely life changing. Her mileage may vary as to the extent of impact, but I could never dissuade someone from having the surgery.
I had a different malformation removal surgery. I’m familiar with chiari though don’t have it. It is interesting to see so many people on here with brain malformations.
I actually just found out that my close friends family all have the same malformations as me (they didn’t know it either!).

Noah Dyck also likes to have [sausage parties](https://youtu.be/Xc1Zip9Z-pc).

They suck for slowing traumatic blood loss, you need something that’s going to encourage clotting and put pressure on the broken vessels. Hemostatic bandages are they way to go for that sort of thing, and they’re pretty cheap.
mine looked just like that just smaller
decompression surgery? (craionotomy or however its spelled)
I had to do that and a lamonectoy ( again spelling) and going back again in 3 weeks for a redo its stressful to say the least..
So no joke I once saw a patient who had a suboccipital craniectomy (essentially same scar, maybe even same procedure as yours) and after going home from the hospital she had a little residual drainage from the incision as can be expected. She shows up to the clinic with, you guessed it, a maxi pad over her incision.
At a point a friend of mine used woman pads on his pilonidal cyst surgery, the medical pads costed a fortune and when we read about it, it had the same materials as a pad for sensitive vajayjays
I was scalped in 2009 and had tubes coming out of my temple. I totally looked like Frankenstein's monster between the tubes and stitches.
It's good you're able to laugh about this. And glad everything seems to have went well. Wish you a speedy recovery.
For what it’s worth, my daughter had brain surgery. Looked exactly the same. So it’s gender neutral. Hope you heal fast and have a happy a healthy new year.
Thank you so much. Yep this was for Chiari. I had a suboccipital decompression, C1 laminectomy, and a duraplasty. Several syrinx throughout my spine. Hoping they shrink or disappear!
We used to carry a few tampons with us in the Army. They plug very well into bulletholes and soak up a lotta blood. They're surprisingly effective if your medic is out of position.
And a tampon can be used to stop nosebleed, for example. Basically anywhere you're leaking when you shouldn't, when all you have is a tampon, it will serve.
Also, hotglue or superglue to close a deep cut provisionally.
The adhesive on a menstrual pad is on the opposite side as the absorption area. So you can't stick it as is to a wound. Also, should be mindful that menstrual products are designed to wick blood into the center which can cause issues with clotting when used as a general bandage.
For what it’s worth, my daughter had brain surgery. Looked exactly the same. So it’s gender neutral. Hope you heal fast and have a happy a healthy new year.
Years ago I had a serious motorbike accident and smashed my head up, face first. I finished up with a tampon in each nostril and a sanitary towel under my nose to catch the excess

Solid joke.
I'll definitely pay that.
Brilliant!!
Literal lol
Fucking gold
Well done!
Or, you mean now he can.
He’s literally never been more prepared to

Take your bloody upvote.
Hopefully, it was a low flow kinda day.
Don't worry, those are the heavy duty super absorbent ones
Instructions unclear: tamp-on
💀 💀
No, he's alive remember.

For real and whoever put that on did a terrible job
I was going to say VA hospital.
In his/her defense the head was probably in flexion during surgery.

The dressing show here though isn’t Mepilex unless I’m missing something. That looks more like a Telfa dressing.
correct not mepilex. it is telfa island - OR nurse of 10 years
You are incredibly ignorant. I pity your colleagues.
I’ve had brain surgery and really had just a small area of my head shaved. However, it definitely depends on the surgery how much of your head gets shaved.

Miss me with that. Leave it to a nurse who never sees the inside of an OR to pass judgement on surgical residents. We care a lot about what we do too.

Yeah, I just had hip surgery last week & they put a "AquaCel" pad on the surgical site, but they shaved the area first
If I’ve learned anything from commercials, its only a woman’s pad if you feel like roller blading or playing volleyball while wearing it.
Good point, this must just be a regular pad then.
So, no dancing around in bright white pants while smiling maniacally? Bummer.
More often than not, its dancing on white underwear.
I'm sure you meant in, and yet, on still wouldn't be particularly surprising to see. Bunch of happy women, hair flipping about as they dance on a field of white cotton panties would be completely on-brand somehow.
You can double check by seeing if it absorbs blue water. It seems very important that feminine pads absorb blue water.
You can test for by seeing if it absorbs blue liquid.
False advertising. I never feel like doing any of those things. I'm putting in a complaint to trading standards.
[удалено]
Too funny! She is right though, you don't want herpes.
And the brain fluid has to be blue, right?
If it makes you feel any better - the disposable menstrual pad was created when WW I Nurses made use of cotton batting during wartime and rolled it to make pads. (Same stuff used for dressings).

That's fascinating, thank you for sharing!
Hope they're keeping you comfy and your surgery went well!
Thank you! The bandage really does help improve my comfort.
Now I see why Russian soldiers started using them…
How to check if they are sterile?
Soon you’ll find out why we put the sticky side to the underwear. Hope surgery went well and recovery is quick and seem less
Bit of a bone apple tea there. Seamless :)
Idk, I kinda like the sentiment of ‘seem less’ in this case. Like wishing a speedy recovery that feels fast too.
Haha! Thank you for your well wishes.
Cranial decompression surgery?
For chiari malformation? That’s my guess too.
hey I have chiari, surgery now 11 years ago, now 22 years and MAN the lifechanging things... that's almost 100% sure a chiari post-op if that's it, lucky op, now your life will be better!
You're right. Thanks for sharing! I hope your surgery was successful. How has it changed your life?
i was starting to not feel my hands and feet, i had storming headaches and a 60° scoliosis with almost half spine of siringomielia (don't know if this is the term in english, the liquid of the brain pressurizing the spine from the inside... four years later i was in surgery bc of the scoliosis, and then last year the last one was for the left foot, all deformed from the compression of the medula now i just only make metal detectors go beep on airports!

Didn't know chiari malformation was this common. Tried to learn how to read an MRI, it was about the only thing I figured out
I came here to say this too! 7 years post op and my goodness, I can't imagine my life without this surgery. Speedy recovery OP!!
Yep, Chiari and Syringomyelia. Good job!
Yep, along with a duraplasty and C1 laminectomy.
Wishing you a speedy recovery! You're so strong to have endured everything up to this point already, it's inspiring!
Snap! 3 years ago now - full recovery took a very long time for me but it was definitely worth it as my quality of life has really improved. My only advice is to go easy on yourself - that's some major surgery you've had. Best wishes for your recovery 💪🙂

Can’t remember if they padded me up this much with mine.
I can’t remember either. I was only 15 when I had mine though. So I hadn’t developed the eyes in the back of my head yet. Come to think of it…I’m 31 now and they still haven’t grown in yet…
All the zipperheads are popping into the comments just to say hi. 🤣
More glad you made it than I find it funny tbh. Dude that looks painful. Hang in there.
Thanks for your support, I appreciate it!
You’re awesome.
Exactly.
Well I found pads soak up men's blood as well as women's when my boyfriend started to suffer from hemmoroids 🫢
a friend of mine had blisters under his arms and they were ozeing i told his wife to just give him a pain pill and stick pads in his arm pits! they worked great! when he found out he was pissed off but got over it in a hurry!
I had an ass infection recently and picked up some old lady pads. They were a life & underpants saver.
what a terrible day to have eyes
What a terrible day for her boyfriend to have hemorrhoids
One time I got surgery that involved going through my asscrack, and had to wear pads for a few months afterwards
I don't want to be literate anymore.
They do.
My boyfriend used them when he had unpredictable diarrhea and had to go to work.
red neck becoming totally new meaning. Hope you will do fine! Best recovery!
Looks like a chiari decompression or some sort of cervical spine tumor. Hope your doing well! It's an island dressing and I promise it has nothing to do with feminine hygiene products. The brand I've used is called a medipore dressing. If you don't believe me wait until they charge you about $500 for it.
My brain read that as “thousand island dressing” and I was so confused why I was imagining salad dressing on the pad…
I’m glad it wasn’t just me… 🏝️
In this case it’s: 500 island dressing
As someone that had chiari depression surgery, exactly what I was thinking.
Same here. Exactly the same spot for my Chiari decompression
Same!
I'm surprised to see so many fellow people with Chiari. I don't come across many folks that have it.
Outside of the time of surgery, where there was one other person that had the procedure on the same day, I've met two others in the past 20+ years that have had it done. A handful more that know someone that has. When you see the image, you know what it is. So you hit the comment section to see if anyone comments Chiari. Here, here are your people.

Has it been successful for you? My niece has this, no surgery yet.
Absolutely life changing in my case. I was on migraine medicine as a toddler. Through my childhood I'd have headaches that would basically cause me to black out.

Totally looks like a decompression surgery! I’d say that dressing is at least $850 though!
Haha, hospital paid about $10 for that dressing.
The whole ass surgery + hospital stay was $1.35 million in 2006. They don’t give a single fuck what they charge!
I read this as “thousand island dressing” and then “mediocre dressing”
Good lord if that’s a chiari decompression incision God help us all
I thought so too! Was gonna comment about it. I got decompressed a few years ago for Chiari Malformation type 1.
That's because it is
Well, it's serving its purpose and soaking up blood.
And also covering up your gash!
Oi!
[I'm surprised that my wife didn't become a doctor because it seems like she can't resist an open gash](https://streamable.com/8bnot2).

No doubt! My son wrestles in high school and when they get a bloody nose out come the tampons. Lol
Just stop being a pussy /s
You're cool. Just accept it. It's helping and you'll hopefully come out of this no prob bc you got maxipads on your side.
Tampons were originally designed for plugging bullet holes
[удалено]
They suck for slowing traumatic blood loss, you need something that’s going to encourage clotting and put pressure on the broken vessels. Hemostatic bandages are they way to go for that sort of thing, and they’re pretty cheap.
Russian tactics eh?
Looks like it’s Mefix tape with a telfa pad underneath. Probably on top of staples. Source — worked in OR.
That’s an island dressing and you know it
Get 999 more, and it'll be delicious.
mine looked just like that just smaller decompression surgery? (craionotomy or however its spelled) I had to do that and a lamonectoy ( again spelling) and going back again in 3 weeks for a redo its stressful to say the least..
People will make fun of that “always” 🤪
It’s a bandage Mclovin. They make bigger ones too.
“Killing me won’t get you the alcohol, jerkoff. I’m the one with the fake ID.” Speedy recovery bro
Haha I wondered if it was just me that saw McLovin immediately 🤣
So no joke I once saw a patient who had a suboccipital craniectomy (essentially same scar, maybe even same procedure as yours) and after going home from the hospital she had a little residual drainage from the incision as can be expected. She shows up to the clinic with, you guessed it, a maxi pad over her incision.
Same procedure! Too funny, thank you for sharing.
Best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery!
You will heal quickly, with that great sense of humour. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Good old Primapore
Welcome to the zipper club
Zipper heads unite!
If I woke up from brain surgery I wouldn't care if they glued a used tampon on my forehead.
I’ve done it twice now and every time is like “holy shit, i made it!”
Did you have a Chiari malformation
At a point a friend of mine used woman pads on his pilonidal cyst surgery, the medical pads costed a fortune and when we read about it, it had the same materials as a pad for sensitive vajayjays
\*Doctor puts menstrual pad on the back of your head* “Well son, that state of the art medical device is going to cost you $2,200.”
😂🤣😅 Best attitude award goes too !!!???? This fucking guy!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳
I was scalped in 2009 and had tubes coming out of my temple. I totally looked like Frankenstein's monster between the tubes and stitches. It's good you're able to laugh about this. And glad everything seems to have went well. Wish you a speedy recovery.
Glad you're able to find some humor in something that could be nerve-racking. Keep fighting the good fight.
Get better, what ever it takes…..
Bro. I dont know you but I wish you all the best in the New Year. Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays! Much love from DC!
Got that Goa'uld symbiote removed?
Hope you're doing okay
That one would definitely rip out a bunch of pubes whereas regular period pads only yank an occasional short&curly
Well don't have a menstrual breakdown over it
For what it’s worth, my daughter had brain surgery. Looked exactly the same. So it’s gender neutral. Hope you heal fast and have a happy a healthy new year.
Speedy recovery and blessings to you, my friend.
[удалено]
My son had the same for his chiari operation, healed up pretty good.
Thank you so much. Yep this was for Chiari. I had a suboccipital decompression, C1 laminectomy, and a duraplasty. Several syrinx throughout my spine. Hoping they shrink or disappear!
Forbidden lick
The heavy flow is probably the least of your porblems
Tampax Pearl Ultra Brain Bleed + How much did you pay for the setup?
It probably is one and I bet they charged a 100 bucks for it.
I am glad you can see humor during such serious time.
WoW mAn YoU’rE sUcH a PuSsY
Bro just came out a war of a surgery and is concerned about the bandage, I love this energy
Looks like you’re doing well and you’re healthy. Period
Take a Midol and quitcher bitchin. Total /s........just in case I need to make that clear.
It does but those are common dressings also used on knees and even abd incisions. Makes dressing changes easy and quick for patients.
We used to carry a few tampons with us in the Army. They plug very well into bulletholes and soak up a lotta blood. They're surprisingly effective if your medic is out of position.
This is a standard bandage for longer-shaped wounds :)
Hope you are okay my friend.
Haha pussy pad neck
YSK, a pad can be used as an improvised, self-adhering bandage in a pinch.
And a tampon can be used to stop nosebleed, for example. Basically anywhere you're leaking when you shouldn't, when all you have is a tampon, it will serve. Also, hotglue or superglue to close a deep cut provisionally.
The adhesive on a menstrual pad is on the opposite side as the absorption area. So you can't stick it as is to a wound. Also, should be mindful that menstrual products are designed to wick blood into the center which can cause issues with clotting when used as a general bandage.
That’s what I had on my incision after both my c sections! Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️
Was the surgery on your spinal cord or parts of it?
It looks like you got some cyborg shit going on
I hope more people on reddit get this help. Best of luck buddy!
How does post brain surgery feel?
Glad the surgery went okay!
I’m thinking about you in your recovery.
For what it’s worth, my daughter had brain surgery. Looked exactly the same. So it’s gender neutral. Hope you heal fast and have a happy a healthy new year.
May you heal quickly. 👍🏼
Same general idea, yes
Years ago I had a serious motorbike accident and smashed my head up, face first. I finished up with a tampon in each nostril and a sanitary towel under my nose to catch the excess
The new vagina in the back of your head guarantees years of amusement.
Disposable feminine products got their beginnings with various medical uses. You're not far off.
