Extirpación abierta de la vesícula biliar - Recovery

Nombres alternativos

Colecistectomía abierta

Después del procedimiento:

Las personas normalmente permanecen en el hospital durante 2 a 6 días después de la extirpación abierta de la vesícula biliar. Durante ese tiempo:

  • Se le pedirá respirar dentro de un dispositivo médico llamado espirómetro incentivo. Esto ayuda a mantener los pulmones funcionando bien para que no contraiga neumonía.
  • La enfermera le ayudará a sentarse en la cama, suspender las piernas sobre el lado y luego pararse y empezar a caminar.
  • Al principio, recibirá líquidos en la vena a través de una vía intravenosa (IV). Pronto, sin embargo, los médicos y enfermeras le pedirán que empiece a tomar líquidos y luego a comer otros alimentos.
  • Usted podrá empezar a bañarse de nuevo mientras está aún en el hospital.
  • Le pueden solicitar que se ponga medias de compresión en las piernas para ayudar a prevenir la formación de un coágulo de sangre. Éstas ayudan a mantener la sangre circulando bien.

Si hubo problemas durante la cirugía o si usted presenta sangrado, mucho dolor o fiebre, es posible que deba quedarse por más tiempo en el hospital.

Pronóstico:

La mayoría de las personas tienen muy buen pronóstico y se recuperan rápidamente.
