Painful symptoms may occur after minimally invasive cholecystectomy, mainly related to the disappearance of anesthesia medication and improper care.
Minimally invasive cholecystectomy is an invasive surgery, although the application of anesthesia medication during the surgery makes the pain disappear, but after the surgery, the patient may experience mild pain symptoms after the anesthesia effect wears off. If the patient is sensitive to pain, the post-operative pain will be more severe. In addition to the above, pain may also occur after minimally invasive cholecystectomy if wound care is not taken and infection is induced.
If the pain is mild, it can be relieved by distraction. However, for severe pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and indomethacin may be prescribed to relieve the pain.
For those whose pain is clearly caused by surgical wound infection, they can also cooperate with the doctor to clean the wound locally and apply antibiotics such as cefixime and cefoperazone.
It is recommended that those with severe or persistent pain after minimally invasive cholecystectomy should inform their doctors promptly so that treatment measures can be taken in accordance with medical advice.
