I had a Robotic partial nephrectomy on 6/20 to remove a 4cmm complex cyst. The procedure itself took about three hours. I was told that normally patients are observed through the night with a release date the next day. I was released on The afternoon of the 23rd and am glad that my medical team kept me the additional time in which my drain and catheter were removed and my purse ox stabilized, Today, being my first full day out of the hospital was slow going but I have not been on pain meds since my release and the gas injected into my stomach during the procedure is working it's way out. The picture was taken yesterday after my release, and the wounds are looking good. My wife was my ride home after,
