Uterine Prolapse Surgery for the Elderly requires about 15 days of hospitalization if the uterus is surgically removed, but every patient is different and the length of hospitalization varies.
For the elderly who are in good health, they can choose the transvaginal method of hysterectomy for the surgery, which usually requires only about 10 days of hospitalization.
Some of the elderly people have lower immunity and poorer physical condition, and the damage caused by uterine prolapse hysterectomy is larger, therefore, they need to do a comprehensive physical examination before the operation, and keep their blood sugar and blood pressure under control, and the recovery time after the operation is also longer, and they need to be hospitalized for about 15 days or more, and have postoperative observation in the hospital, to avoid postoperative complication.
In addition, if the surgery is performed in an open approach, the hospitalization time will be prolonged due to the large surgical incision.
Therefore, the time needed for uterine prolapse surgery for the elderly is affected by a number of factors, which should be judged in the light of their own situation and the type of surgery.
