Things to note after laparoscopic surgery

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery. Although it is not a major surgery, patients who undergo laparoscopy must understand the common problems related to laparoscopy, so as to ensure the postoperative recovery effect and make the body recover quickly. Let’s take a detailed look at the common problems after laparoscopy.

1. After laparoscopy, the patient must lie flat, without a pillow, and the head can be tilted to one side to prevent vomiting and inhaling feces into the bronchi, causing suffocation.

2. Generally, many patients do not feel any pain after surgery, but they can gently massage the waist, and most patients turn over, usually once every 30 minutes. This is beneficial to promote the body's blood circulation and can also effectively prevent the occurrence of bedsores.

3. Six hours after the operation, the patient can eat some liquid food, such as noodle soup or thin millet soup. However, patients cannot eat sweets, such as sweetened milk and other sugary foods.

4. The incision of laparoscopy is not large, only one centimeter in size. Therefore, under normal circumstances, you can take a shower after a week and do some light exercises after a week to gradually allow the body to recover as soon as possible.

5. After abdominal surgery, the catheter can usually be removed on the same day. The doctor will advise the patient to get out of bed and move around based on the patient's actual condition, but you still need to pay attention to all aspects.
