How long to recuperate from laparoscopic surgery before you can go to work

After laparoscopic surgery, it is usually necessary to rest for 2 weeks or more before resuming normal life and work, but it also needs to be considered according to other reasons such as the presence of postoperative infections, bleeding, and the speed of the patient’s recovery. 1. When there are no complications such as abdominal infection, bleeding, or fatty liquefaction of the incision after surgery, the patient can be discharged from the hospital after 3 to 5 days of observation. You can continue to work 2 weeks after surgery. 2. If the patient is old and his/her own tissue repair ability is poor, postoperative abdominal infection, bleeding, incision infection, etc. occurs. This situation will cause a lot of damage to the patient’s surgical wound, at this time the recovery period will generally be one to two months. There are some special diseases and jobs where the recuperation time needs to be extended. For example, after laparoscopic surgery for abdominal wall hernia, if you are engaged in manual labor, you need to recuperate for at least one to two months. After laparoscopic surgery, it is recommended not to do weight-bearing exercises or exercises that increase the burden on the abdomen, and gradually increase the intensity of exercise according to your physical condition after eight weeks to avoid the development of the disease.
