Gastrectomía - Recovery

Después del procedimiento:

El pronóstico después de la cirugía depende de la razón de la operación y del estado suyo.

Después de la cirugía, le pueden poner una sonda en la nariz, la cual le ayudará a mantener el estómago vacío. Dicha sonda se retirará tan pronto como los intestinos estén trabajando bien.

La mayoría de los pacientes presentan molestia leve a raíz de la cirugía, la cual se puede controlar fácilmente con analgésicos.

Los pacientes generalmente permanecen hospitalizados durante 6 a 10 días.

Después de salir del hospital, usted debe realizar actividad ligera durante las primeras 4 a 6 semanas. Si toma analgésicos narcóticos, no debe conducir.
