Is it better to have a bath or shower after surgery?

After 48 hours of surgery you can wet the surgical wound. Make sure you only wet the stitches slightly and not soak them. Therefore, a shower is better than a bath. Pat dry the stitches with a clean cloth with no fibers and threads sticking out as they may stick to the stitches.
