The recovery time after intestinal polyp surgery is related to the patient’s surgical method as well as his/her own recovery, which usually takes 5~14 days.
If the intestinal polyps are small and the patient’s own repair ability is strong, the polyps can be removed completely under enteroscopy, this minimally invasive surgery is less invasive, and if there are no postoperative complications such as gastrointestinal perforation and bleeding, the patient can usually recover gradually in about 5-7 days.
If the intestinal polyps are large, enteroscopic resection is difficult, the resection is too deep may cause intestinal perforation, the resection is too shallow may cause polyp residue, this time the need for laparoscopic or open surgery to remove part of the intestinal tube, to achieve the purpose of removing the polyps, trauma is greater, the patient needs to be recovered in about 10-14 days after the operation.
After surgery, patients need to pay attention to not eat spicy and stimulating food, with fresh and easy-to-digest diet, and then return to a normal diet after the condition has fully recovered. At the same time, pay attention to rest, avoid exertion, avoid strenuous exercise and so on.
