Usually, patients with partial small bowel resection can go to work after half a month to one month, and those who have not recovered need to take a longer rest period. For partial small bowel resection patients, if they pay attention to postoperative care and recover well, they can usually go to work about half a month after the operation. However, for those who have not paid attention to care and have not recovered well, they can go to work about one month after the operation, or even delay the time of going to work, in order to prevent the surgical wound from splitting, infection or other diseases caused by going to work too early. After the surgery, patients should pay attention to light, easy to digest and rich in nutritious food, avoiding cold, spicy and stimulating food; in relatively stable condition, get out of bed as soon as possible to help promote the recovery of gastrointestinal motility. After going to work, pay attention to avoid sitting, standing or engaging in heavy labor, and also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid overwork. It is recommended that the patient should define the working hours according to his/her actual situation and after assessment by the attending doctor, and should also pay attention to regular medical checkups. If there are abnormalities such as blood in the stool or pain during work, the patient should consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
