Yesterday, I had robotic rextopexy to address some issues I was having with rectal prolapse. It was a "minimally invasive" surgery using the da Vinci Surgical System. The surgery basically involved pulling my rectum back above my pelvic floor and then using sutures to for a sling between it and my hip bone (I forgot the technical name of it.) During recovery, I was given Heprin, Tordol, acetominephen (aka tylanol,) and one other drug I forgot the name of. I am currently on prescription painkillers for the net five days, though I don't plan on flying for the next few weeks anyway.
Will having this done effect my medical? I've already gotten a 3rd class medical, but am unsure if I need to report it.
