In this plan

  1. Purpose, Prevention & Protection

    • I understand trapped hair and skin debris can form cysts or tunnels in my buttock crease.
    • I confirm whether my wound will be closed, left open, or repaired with a flap.
    • I ask whether I will need packing, a drain, or help with dressing changes.
    • I follow fasting and ride instructions and change medicine only if my surgeon tells me.
