Dr. Mohammad Abo El Naga resorts to a leak test during the surgery to avoid any risks that occur during or after the surgery.
2- Severe pain:
The pain may be minor because during the surgery the PCA device is installed in a cannula that contains strong pain killers, where fixed doses are injected every 10 minutes and the patient stays in it for about two or three days after his discharge from the hospital.
