After thoracic spine surgery, you may be able to sit up with assistance the day after surgery, but you should try to stay in bed as long as possible in the early postoperative period. Thoracic spine surgery does not affect the ability to sit up. On the second day after surgery, you can sit up slowly with the help of others by gradually raising the bed. However, it is important not to rush when sitting up to avoid pulling on the surgical wound, which may cause pain or affect the outcome of the surgery. However, in the early period after thoracic spine surgery (within 2-3 months), you should try to stay in bed rest position. Bed rest prevents stress on the thoracic spine and speeds up healing at the surgical site. Rehabilitation exercises should also be performed under doctor’s supervision during bed rest to avoid complications such as lower extremity venous thrombosis, acne, crashed pneumonia, urinary tract infection, etc. caused by prolonged bed rest.
