A few days after bladder cancer surgery

summary

My friend's relative got this bladder cancer. My family suggested that we have an operation. We didn't know when we would get better after the operation. So my friend went to the doctor and said he was very timid. Now let me tell you that bladder cancer can be cured in a few days after the operation.

A few days after bladder cancer surgery

First, radical cystectomy and urinary diversion is a major operation for patients with bladder cancer, which takes several hours to complete. The operation often involves the intestine, so compared with the relatively simple and less time-consuming operation, the postoperative recovery time is significantly longer. In the short term after operation, the intestinal function was abnormal, it took several days to recover, and the recovery time was significantly prolonged. The intestinal function is abnormal in the short term after operation, which takes several days to recover. In this process, doctors often place nasogastric tubes to drain gastric juice, or * cause gastric retention and vomiting.

Second: 1-2 days after the operation, the nurse will help the patient get out of bed, sit in the chair first, and then walk slowly in the corridor. Before you can't eat, you can use intravenous drugs to control pain. Once you can eat, you can take oral analgesics. When the oral medicine can control the pain well, can autonomously ambulate (at least from the bedside to the bathroom), and can eat the normal diet, you can be discharged. If all goes well, it usually takes 5 - 10 days.

Third, some patients, especially those with advanced age and multiple underlying diseases, may need to go to rehabilitation institutions for a period of time after discharge rather than go home directly. It's because there's physical therapy and good care, which is not available at home. When the patient's strength is restored and the wound is healed, he can go home. After returning home, the recovery process may not be very smooth, may be good or bad, rather than a steady recovery.

matters needing attention

Generally, it takes a month to recover completely after the operation, and the recovery can be very smooth. Of course, we should pay attention to the body during the operation. Before the operation, doctors and stomatologists will choose a more convenient and hidden place for stoma in the abdomen.
