How to recover after cardia removal

After pancreatic resection, patients can recover through diet, medication, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. 1. Dietary adjustment: after discharged from the hospital, patients usually can only eat semi-liquid diet such as lotus root powder, steamed egg or rotten noodles, and can gradually transition to normal diet one month after the operation, and should develop good dietary habits, eat small meals, eat more light, fresh and easy-to-digest food, and avoid diets that are more irritating to the stomach, such as coffee and so on. 2. Medication: If the patient has acid reflux, easy to be full or choking discomfort after cardia resection, he/she can take omeprazole enteric-coated tablets under doctor’s guidance, which can enhance the gastrointestinal emptying function. 3. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy: patients after pancreatic resection can consolidate the postoperative treatment through chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The recovery after pancreatic resection should not be rushed, and the patient should follow the doctor’s instructions to have a slow transition diet to avoid prolonging the recovery time by consuming indigestible food too early which may cause gastrointestinal dysfunction and other prolonged recovery time.
