Patients can generally perform basic physical activities about 1 week after cholecystectomy; in case of heavy physical labor, laparoscopic surgery patients need to recuperate for about 1 month, and open surgery needs about 2 to 3 months.
Cholecystectomy is a common surgery in hepatobiliary surgery. With the continuous progress of medical technology, cholecystectomy is usually performed by laparoscopy, which has the advantages of short operation time and quick recovery after surgery, and the patient can get out of the bed and carry out activities 6 hours after the operation.
One week after surgery, patients can start with light physical activities. If there is no obvious abnormality, the intensity and strength of work can be gradually increased until it returns to the normal level.
If the patient is open abdominal surgery, the surgical trauma is large, the abdominal incision healing takes some time, the recovery of physical labor must be gradual, heavy physical labor is recommended in March after surgery.
It should be noted that if the incision discomfort occurs after appropriate physical activity, it is recommended to rest appropriately, and those who can not be relieved of the discomfort should consult a doctor promptly.
