How long does it take to recover after cholelithiasis surgery?
According to different surgical methods, the postoperative recovery time of cholecystolithiasis is different, as follows: 1. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: it is a minimally invasive operation, so patients can be discharged after 2-3 days of hospitalization, and they can move normally after discharge, but it is not recommended to do heavy housework and heavy physical exercise, and they can go to work 2-3 weeks after operation; 2. Open surgery: The specific recovery time after open surgery for gallstones has a great relationship with the patient's physique. It usually takes a little more than a week to remove the stitches. If you recover smoothly, you can gradually transition to a normal diet in about two weeks, and your body will recover accordingly. In addition, the specific situation of postoperative rehabilitation of gallstones depends on whether there will be some complications after operation and other reasons. Generally speaking, a week's rest after removing stitches can basically restore the ability of self-care. 3. Other methods include gallbladder-preserving lithotomy (this operation has a high recurrence rate). Generally speaking, after cholecystectomy, the gastrointestinal function will gradually recover in 1-3 days, and the inflammatory reaction will stabilize in about 7 days. If there is suture, the incision can be removed 7 days after operation. Therefore, three days after surgery, you can basically take care of yourself; You can return to almost the same situation before hand operation in a week or so.
