Patients with gallbladder stones can basically recover as normal after surgery, but many patients have misconceptions about post-surgical care that may affect the recovery outcome. Some patients and their families believe that the surgery should be chosen in winter, believing that the weather and climate have an impact on the patient’s surgical outcome, which is not true. It can be clearly stated that the weather has no effect on surgery. The operating room is constant temperature, usually controlled at about 25 degrees, and the entire treatment process is not affected by the weather. After the surgery, as long as you follow the doctor’s instructions and pay attention to hygiene, you can completely avoid the occurrence of wound infection. Regarding when the stitches can be removed and when you can take a shower after surgery, it may vary from patient to patient. I usually use absorbable sutures for the surgery, so there is no need to remove the sutures. Some patients will use a waterproof protective film on the wound and can take a shower 1~2 days after surgery, but some patients do not use a protective film and need to be more careful and can only take a shower about 7~8 days after surgery. After the surgery, patients can move around a little after they wake up from anesthesia, but they need to ask their bedside doctor if they can get out of bed. Patients have a waking process after anesthesia, and there are usually no special contraindications. They can eat liquid food on the first day, and semi-liquid food in the following days, and it is best not to eat food with high fat content. If patients have other diseases in combination, such as diabetes, they need to ask the doctor if they should control their diet after surgery. Some patients feel shoulder and back pain after surgery, which may be caused by pumping air into the abdominal cavity during laparoscopy. This operation can be irritating to the patient’s diaphragm, making the patient feel uncomfortable in the shoulder and back; however, it is also possible that the patient has other lesions in the back or abdominal wall. If the patient has abdominal pain, it may be wound pain (caused by postoperative inflammatory edema) or other causes. If pain occurs, it is best to ask the bedside doctor; if the patient’s operation is not going very well, it may also cause some discomfort. If the patient feels discomfort, he or she needs to ask the doctor and not take care of it on his or her own. Some other patients may ask me why their mouth is bitter after gallbladder stone surgery. In fact, bitterness in the mouth is a subjective feeling and many factors can cause bitterness in the mouth, caused by reflux esophagitis or other problems, but post-operative bitterness in the mouth is not related to gallbladder stones, so patients do not need to worry that it is caused by surgery.
