Postoperative maintenance is a normal condition, and many people need to undergo surgery due to discomfort. Before the surgery, it is necessary to start adjusting the body and increasing energy. However, some can make us better during treatment. This type of surgery is not completely harmless and still requires care. How to do postoperative maintenance after laparoscopic surgery?
How to do maintenance after laparoscopic surgery
Keep the wound clean and dry, and wait for about 10 days after the wound is completely healed before taking a shower. Be sure to pay attention to whether the wound is red, swollen, hot, or painful every day to prevent the occurrence of infection and inflammation. During the recovery period of surgery, it is also important to consume high protein, rich vitamins, and high fiber foods. Normal daily routine can be restored two weeks after surgery, and cycling and prolonged sitting should be avoided for two weeks to prevent pelvic congestion. Special attention should also be paid to avoiding lifting items weighing more than 5 kilograms. It's best to prohibit sexual activity and focus on regulating your body first.
The advantages of laparoscopic surgery
1. Laparoscopic surgery causes minimal damage to patients: Laparoscopic surgery causes minimal disturbance to visceral organs in the abdominal cavity, avoiding irritation and contamination of the abdominal cavity by air and airborne dust and bacteria. During the surgery, the main procedure is electrocautery and electrocoagulation, which first coagulates the blood vessels and then breaks them to achieve complete hemostasis with minimal bleeding. The abdominal cavity is thoroughly flushed before the surgery is completed to maintain cleanliness. Therefore, postoperative intestinal function recovers quickly, allowing for early feeding and greatly reducing the risk of postoperative intestinal adhesions.
2. Laparoscopic surgery is a new minimally invasive technique, a newly developed minimally invasive method. Laparoscopic surgery is a representative of truly minimally invasive surgery, with greatly reduced trauma, easy surgical process and postoperative recovery, and less pain. Surgery avoids postoperative scars: abdominal wall punctures replace abdominal wall incisions, avoiding damage to abdominal wall muscles, blood vessels, and corresponding nerves. There will be no abdominal wall weakness or incisional hernia after surgery, and no impact on motor function due to scar formation of abdominal wall muscles.
No matter what surgery is performed, there will inevitably be some physical trauma, which is where everyone should take care of and maintain after the surgery, not only on the surface of the body but also on the inner psychological level. It is important to maintain a good mood. Although laparoscopy is very advanced, it is inevitable to suffer some damage, but the size and degree of the damage may vary, greatly reducing the trauma.
