How long does it take to recover from surgery for intestinal obstruction

After surgical treatment for intestinal obstruction, recovery generally takes 10-14 days because anti-infection treatment, nutritional support, and continuous gastrointestinal decompression are needed after surgery for intestinal obstruction, and all of them take some time. Some patients should be encouraged to get out of bed early to prevent intestinal adhesions and intestinal obstruction, all of which take some time, so generally patients with faster recovery will be completely discharged in 10-14 days. However, after discharge, patients must be advised to eat a light diet, do not eat stimulating food, prevent colds to prevent lowering of immunity, and appropriate activities to promote the recovery of intestinal function and peristalsis.
