You can usually take a shower 10 days after cholecystectomy.
Cholecystectomy is mainly applied to cholecystitis, gallbladder polyps, gallbladder stones and other biliary diseases. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most commonly used surgical procedure in the clinic, which has the advantages of less trauma, less pain, less scar, shorter hospitalization period, and quicker postoperative recovery.
After laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the stitches are usually removed about 7 days after surgery, and some of them are closed with intradermal sutures, which do not need to be given after surgery. The surgical incision usually heals in about 10 days after surgery, so you can usually take a shower 10 days after surgery. However, it is important to note that a shower is sufficient, not a bath. In addition, if the wound becomes infected, you should delay bathing.
After cholecystectomy, treatment and daily care should be carried out under the guidance of the doctor.
