Oh my word, such total dedication to being 'right' when most of what you wrote was completely inaccurate yet stated as fact.

If I could be further bothered I'd regoogle and prob find it does have a 'department'. I wonder what 'department' the medics working in 'women's health' and the surgeons performing the hysterectomies would say they are part of? But WAIT, maybe it's called a section, or a specialism or...OK..you are right. You really are. You can't be wrong. Thank goodness you are here to keep us all informed with your CAPS and unequivocal statements.

My sibling was at this hospital.

Nothing from you to say thanks, and no 'oh I was incorrect, oops'. Dislike teaching similar mindsets. I like being wrong and often am.

I love how you're all about the links until you can't find one (because it doesn't exist; TLC doesn't have a gyn department) and now you can't be bothered to "regoogle." Also, you agree with the other poster that it's not the surgery Kate is having (which was obviously their point), but you can't stop arguing about whether they theoretically might do a type of that surgery on someone. But the other poster is the one who is desperate to be right. Yup.

I urge you to click the links and looks at the doctors performing them. They do not have a gyn department, which speaks to the faculty not the services offered. (Apologies if that wasn't clear; I'm a doctor, so it's clear to me, but I realize I shouldn't take that for granted.) It's one of the reasons a royal would never go there for major gyn-related surgery. Not a single service they list on that page is major surgery. Instead, they are all outpatient procedures. Because they don't have a department.

The bottom line is that the surgery is related to the digestive system, because that is the world class department that this clinic has & what they specialize in (also, certain cancer treatment).

Many posts in...now claims to be a 'doctor'. I am one too.

I would guess there are many possibilities for an HRH which do not exist for all. Such as a team assembling depending on various factors inc security or other things.

The London Clinic may be an unusual choice, if it was a choice, as it's not the 'usual' hospital for Royals. The motorcade footage posted on X on Dec 28th adds another layer of questions if HRH has been in hospital since then.


Can you share a Link to the motorcade footage?

You got discharged after your hysterectomy after 3 days because BCBS/Cigna/Kaiser said so, not because it was the best thing for you medically.

My spouse had a transplant (NOT kidney) and was home a week later.

Yes, but the longer the hospital, the higher the likelihood of a hospital borne infection. She could be cared for at home by the best doctors in the UK.

Yes, this is why I think it was a surgery with complications that require a longer stay.

The longer you are in the hospital, the higher your risk of infection.

When my dad had a triple bypass, he was out of the ICU after 3 hours. My mom was worried it was too soon but his nurse assured her that moving to the cardiac step-down unit was best because the risk of a HAI (healthcare acquired infection) in the ICU was so high. He was only in the cardiac step-down unit for 27 hours before he was discharged. He had to be able to get himself out of bed into a standing position, pass gas, and have a BM and that was it. As soon as he could do all 3, he was released.

This is very accurate from my parents' hospital experience too but I don't get it...wouldn't you still risk a Hospital Acquired Infection in the step down unit?

Well, you're often in the ICU because you require a ventilator or other invasive device/procedure, and those invasive devices can introduce infections (like ventilator-acquired pneumonia).

But ICUs are also overrun with antibiotic-resistant bacteria and fungus.

whipple procedure? maybe they found something noncancerous on her pancreas that had to be removed.

This was posted a few pages ago on this very thread. Maybe around pages 12 -17 I'm not sure.

I think it may be deleted though esp if the owner (who is not the poster in X) is offered eg deals by media.

I had it severely. It doesn’t impact your colon.

She might have ulcerative colitis or another colon condition.

She will be in the hospital for 10-16 days. It must’ve been a big surgery!

Or she’s the princess of wales and gets the literal royal treatment. The rest of us would have to be back at work.

But she'd get the royal treatment in her bedroom. Why does she need to be in the hospital? That's what's weird. She could recover with a whole lot of help at home if it weren't serious.

This. Anyone would be happier at home, especially with that kind of help.

If her marriage isn't great and her kids are demanding, she'd probably prefer a hospital, especially if her room is princess-level nice. This could relax for the first time in twenty years!

She could be at home in a nice room and relax without any disturbances. She can afford round-the-clock nannies for her kids, to be in a separate wing, etc.

Yes, open colon resection.

Does this usually require an ostomy bag?

My brother had a colectomy for Crohn's disease, plus they took his diseased gallbladder and had to repair an anal fistula (caused by the Crohn's). He was like inpatient for 9 days. The thing about inflammatory bowel disease is that sometimes people are really sick by the time they need surgery, and you need to get that under control. My brother needed iv nutrition, steroids and biologics bf he was healthy enough to withstand surgery.

She always looks active and healthy—and as short ago as Christmas. Did your brother appear sick, was he active?

It also rules out cosmetic surgery, unless they planned some giant elaborate ruse.

Right-no one prefers to be in an hospital and risk infection or picking something else up while there. She has the means to receive round the clock care in the comfort of home, yes in a separate wing entirely separate from the rest of the fam if she really needs that privacy. must be something serious that requires being at a hospital should anything during recovery go wrong

She could be at home in a nice room and relax without any disturbances. She can afford round-the-clock nannies for her kids, to be in a separate wing, etc.

And with the 8:30pm convoy to the hospital—that speaks more emergency

14 days for a royal is short, she will be in a recovery facility with spa treatment silver service dining and wated on hand and foot. By contrast y auntie gave birth at home(no pain relief) and then cooked the evening dinner for her husband.

The X poster corrected it to say 6.30pm was time of footage. If it was HRH Catherine then it's a possibility she's been in hospital since Dec 28th, maybe a different hospital as an 'acute' case for around 3 weeks, and then admitted for a 'planned' surgery at TLC yesterday.

All just speculation and I'm starting to feel a bit guilty as I'm sure it's last thing she wants.

I think she does a lot for our RF and I wish her a smooth and swift recovery.

Hartmann’s procedure is a type of colectomy that removes part of the colon and sometimes rectum (proctosigmoidectomy). It usually requires 10+ day long hospitalization.

Reading UK reports, the "amazing" rooms at this hospital include TV, telephone, a private ensuite bathroom, Wi-Fi and a choice of food, which sounds like a pretty standard private room around here. This is in contrast to a ward with multiple patients at the NHS I guess. I had a private room here, yet had a constant stream of staff coming and going, making it very difficult to rest. I don't think anyone would stay that many days by choice.
