What to pay attention to after gallbladder stone surgery

  What do patients with gallstones need to pay attention to after surgery?  Clinically, gallstones are mainly referred to as gallbladder stones and common bile duct stones. There are different considerations for different types of surgery. First of all, most of the gallbladder stones are operated by laparoscopy. Compared with traditional open surgery, the incision in the abdomen is very small at this stage, but patients should still pay attention to rest and not take a shower before the incision heals to avoid infection. Patients can get out of bed on the second day after surgery, and avoid prolonged bed rest as much as possible to avoid the formation of venous thrombosis in the lower limbs. At the same time, getting out of bed as early as possible is beneficial to the recovery of gastrointestinal function. Patients may have indigestion, mild bloating and diarrhea after cholecystectomy, so try to reduce the intake of greasy, spicy and stimulating food, and try to eat more soft, easily digestible and absorbable food.  The ERCP has obvious advantages over traditional open and laparoscopic surgery, and patients recover quickly after surgery, but some patients are prone to acute pancreatitis and gastrointestinal bleeding after surgery. Therefore, patients need to be closely monitored for blood and urine amylase, blood lipase and other indicators and the occurrence of blood in the gastrointestinal tract. Patients cannot eat early after surgery and need to strengthen nutrition and vitamin supplementation intravenously. Usually when the patient’s blood index returns to normal, it is safer to eat.
