Is It Ok To Apply Vaseline On Incision And Stitches Site After Surgery?

Hello! My two year old son just had a testicle removed due to it being twisted. The plastic covering it came off in the shower tonight and I was wondering if it was ok to put Vaseline over the incision/stitches to keep it moist and help keep the urine off of it. Is there something better than Vaseline? Thank you for your time and expertise!!
