Pancreatic occupancy surgery requires hospitalization for about 7-14 days, and the exact duration of hospitalization also needs to be judged according to the surgical method and whether there are any postoperative complications.
1. If the pancreatic occupation surgery chooses lumpectomy, it is generally less invasive and relatively quicker recovery, and the hospitalization time will be shortened accordingly, generally around 7 days.
2. If the pancreatic occupation is located in the head of the pancreas or the middle part of the pancreas, the surgery needs to reconstruct the digestive tract, and then the patient has a higher chance of complications, such as bleeding, infection, anastomotic fistula, etc., which is more invasive and the time of discharge from the hospital will be prolonged, usually taking 14 days or even longer.
After pancreatic surgery, the patient’s body is relatively weak, must pay more attention to rest, need to be mainly bed rest. Family members should closely observe the patient’s vital signs and inform the doctor of any abnormalities.
