@dhrubasen, That is an interesting question. I suppose you could ask your transplant team what they have to say about their numbers.
As for myself, I had a liver and kidney and did have 3 drainage tubes after surgery 16 years ago. I can remember leaving the hospital on day 7 with some tubes still draining. However, when I was dicharged on day 30 from outpatient care to return to my home (at a distance) I did n ot have any more tubes or drainage.

I will add that each of us is different, and will have different post surgery recovery and healing. Are you the patient, or are you asking for someone else? How long ago was the transplant? Are you having concerns about your drainage?

I am the patient. Just want to alert my caregivers what may be in store.

So basically you had the drain for 30 days. I didnt know this.
