How long it takes to be discharged from the hospital after intestinal obstruction surgery depends on the cause of the obstruction. For adhesive intestinal obstruction, patients can be discharged from the hospital in about 7-10 days after surgery, while for intestinal obstruction caused by tumors, it may take more than 2 weeks after surgery to be discharged. In many cases of intestinal obstruction caused by adhesions, the intestines are stuck inside the adhesions and the obstruction is caused by conservative treatment with drugs. For tumor intestinal obstruction, radical resection of intestinal tumor is required during surgery, and the surgery is relatively traumatic, so the postoperative recovery is slow and the hospitalization time is also long.
