How long does it take to recover from gastric perforation surgery

Usually, patients with gastric perforation can recover gradually in 10-15 days after surgery, the specific recovery time is related to the onset of the disease, the treatment method and the patient’s physical condition, and there are individual differences. Gastric perforation is usually caused by the presence of ulcers in the stomach, and the clinical symptoms mainly manifest as severe pain in the abdomen. Early gastric perforation patients can eat in about 7 days and recover in about 10 days after surgical repair. If the gastric perforation is severe, the patient needs to undergo gastrectomy, and its recovery time is relatively longer, taking about 15 days. In addition, gastric perforation surgery is prone to co-infections, and if the infection occurs and is not controlled in time, it can significantly prolong the patient’s recovery time. Patients are advised to eat regularly, eat small amounts of food, avoid stimulating foods, eat more protein and vitamin-rich foods, and pay attention to keeping warm to promote recovery.
