How long should I rest after laparoscopic surgery?

Some women need to undergo laparoscopic surgery due to physical illness. After the operation, their bodies are very weak and there are certain wounds. They must recuperate well and cannot go back to work immediately. However, some people don’t know how long they need to rest after the operation, and they have complicated work to do. So, how long does it take to rest after laparoscopic surgery?

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery widely used to treat gynecological diseases in women. It has small trauma, good effect and short time.

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery. The stitches will be removed one week after the surgery and you can go back to work. However, based on the patient's actual health condition, it is recommended to rest for another week. Although it is a minimally invasive surgery, it is also damaging to the patient's health.

Laparoscopy usually uses a 2-4-hole operation method, one on the navel of the body, to avoid leaving a long scar on the patient's abdomen. Only 1 to 3 0.5-1 cm strip scars are left on the abdomen, which is a less painful surgical treatment. The implementation of laparoscopy relieves the pain of surgery for patients and also reduces the recovery period of patients. It is a new surgical treatment project that has developed rapidly in recent years.

Pay attention to the following matters after laparoscopy

1. Daily life is important. You should pay attention to adopting moderate and light exercise methods one week after the operation. Patients who undergo laparoscopic fallopian tube surgery and laparoscopic uterine and ovarian surgery can resume their normal work and rest schedule two weeks after surgery.

2. The abdominal dressing can be removed after one week of bathing, and you can take a shower, but pay attention to keeping the wound clean and dry after bathing. Be sure to pay attention to whether the wound is red, swollen, hot, or painful to prevent infection and inflammation. Keep the wound clean and dry.

After undergoing laparoscopic surgery, the body needs to rest until it is fully recovered before going to work. No matter how busy and important your work is, you must remember to let yourself rest for a while after the operation. You cannot go back to work immediately, otherwise the operation will be meaningless and will always cause various inconveniences.
