Laparoscopia pélvica - Recovery

Nombres alternativos

Celioscopia; Cirugía de curitas; Laparoscopia ginecológica; Pelviscopia; Laparoscopia ginecológica exploratoria

Expectativas después de la cirugía:

Usted pasará algún tiempo en el área de recuperación a medida que despierte de la anestesia.

Con frecuencia, se podrá ir para su casa el mismo día del procedimiento. Algunas veces, puede ser necesario quedarse de un día para otro.

Convalecencia:

El gas insuflado en el abdomen puede causar molestia abdominal durante uno o dos días después del procedimiento. Algunas personas sienten dolor en el cuello y los hombros durante algunos días después de una laparoscopia, ya que el dióxido de carbono irrita el diafragma, un dolor que se siente en el hombro. A medida que el gas sea absorbido, este dolor irá desapareciendo. Permanecer acostado puede ayudar a disminuir dicho dolor.

El médico le prescribirá analgésicos o le dirá qué analgésicos de venta libre puede tomar.

Usted puede reanudar sus actividades normales en menos de dos días. Dependiendo del procedimiento que le realicen, por lo regular podrá reiniciar la actividad sexual tan pronto como el sangrado (si hay alguno) haya cesado. Pregúntele al médico qué es lo recomendable para el procedimiento que le practicaron. No levante nada que pese más de 10 libras durante tres semanas después de la cirugía para reducir el riesgo de sufrir una hernia en las incisiones.

Llame al médico si tiene:

  • Sangrado vaginal
  • Fiebre que no desaparece
  • Náuseas y vómitos
  • Dolor abdominal intenso
