How long it takes to recover from gallstone surgery needs to be judged on a patient-by-patient basis and cannot be generalized. If the patient has simple gallbladder stones and undergoes laparoscopic cholecystectomy, he usually needs to be hospitalized for 3-5 days, while in some large medical centers, he can be discharged in the afternoon of the day of surgery or in the early morning of the next day, and can resume ordinary diet in about 1 week, and basically return to normal in 1 month. However, if the patient has preoperative combined acute cholecystitis, or even septicemia or perforation, or undergoes open surgery, or has postoperative complications such as infection or biliary fistula, the recovery time will be prolonged. If damage to the common bile duct occurs after surgery, a second operation may be required and the recovery time may be about six months to one year. Patients are advised to pay attention to wound care after surgery, change medications regularly, take medications as prescribed by the doctor, and follow a reasonable diet under the guidance of the doctor.
