Recovery days for intestinal polyp surgery

The recovery time after intestinal polyp surgery is related to the patient’s surgical approach and his or her recovery condition. If the intestinal polyp is small and the patient has strong repair ability, the polyp can be removed completely under colonoscopy, which is a minimally invasive surgery with small invasion. If there is no postoperative complication such as gastrointestinal perforation and bleeding, the patient can gradually recover in about 3-5 days. If the intestinal polyps are large, it is difficult to remove them by colonoscopy, too deep removal may cause intestinal perforation, too shallow removal may cause polyp residue, then laparoscopic or open surgery is needed to remove part of the intestinal tube to achieve the purpose of removing polyps, which is more traumatic and patients need about 10 days to recover after surgery. After the operation, we need to pay attention to not eat spicy and stimulating food, to fresh and easy to digest diet, and then return to normal diet after the condition is fully recovered. At the same time, pay attention to rest, avoid strain, avoid strenuous exercise, etc.
