Different drainage volumes from the two sides

I don't think I am the only surgeon reading this who can't quite figure out what operation you had, whether or not you have drains, and what all the shorthand in your question means. I can say that it is not at all uncommon the see differing amounts of drainage when surgery is done on two sides. So long as you maintain your symmetry, and the side draining less is not increasing in size, I don't think you should be concerned. Do follow up with your surgeon. Best wishes. more
