What is Postoperative Care?
Postoperative Care is the systematic process of physical and mental recovery from the moment a patient leaves the hospital until they return to normal life. It encompasses wound management, pain control, complication prevention, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nutrition, and mental health support, all planned by a multidisciplinary team.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Why rehabilitate? | Prevent complications (clots, pneumonia, sores), reduce recovery time, and accelerate return to daily life. |
| When to start? | Immediately upon hospital discharge, ideally within 24-48 hours after surgery. |
| Who provides care? | Multidisciplinary team: Doctors, Nurses, PTs, OTs, and Nutritionists. |
| How long? | Depends on surgery type, typically 2-12 weeks based on individual assessment. |
