How to care after ovarian wedge removal surgery

After the operation, you must pay more attention to whether the patient's body temperature, blood pressure, breathing, etc. are normal. Because the anesthetic has not dissipated just after the operation, the catheter must be inserted. Pay more attention to the patient's abdominal distension. If possible, try to get out of bed and move around, which will help recovery. Finally, the wound must be protected to prevent infection.

Overview

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common disease in young women, with symptoms such as amenorrhea, infertility and virilization. It is caused by the thickening of the ovarian capsule. Although many follicles develop, they do not ovulate, resulting in polycystic and enlarged ovaries with a shiny surface like porcelain. In the past, ovarian wedge resection was mostly used, but now ovarian drilling is mostly used, which can restore normal menstruation in some patients. The exact mechanism is still unclear.

Indications

1. Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome who do not respond to conservative treatment.

2. Patients with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome who require surgical treatment.

3. When uterine fibroids are dug out, there are large ovaries with multiple cysts.

Contraindications

Patients with malignant ovarian tumors should not undergo wedge resection of the ovarian tumor and should have the affected ovary removed.

Postoperative complications

Pelvic adhesions, premature ovarian failure, etc.

Postoperative Care

1. Monitor body temperature, blood pressure, pulse and respiration.

2. Connect the continuous urinary catheter.

3. Intravenous fluid replacement can be given 1 or 2 days after surgery.

4. Relieve pain promptly.

5. Pay attention to abdominal distension.

6. Get out of bed and move around early.

7. Observe the condition of the wound.

8. If everything goes well, the patient can be discharged from the hospital 1 to 5 days after the operation.

Postoperative diet

You can eat liquid food 6 hours after the operation, but avoid milk and sugar, and do not eat too much. After intestinal peristalsis is restored and the patient can expel gas on his own, he can gradually transition to normal food. In order to promote early healing of the incision and recovery of the body, it is advisable to eat a high-protein, high-vitamin, nutritious diet.
