Post-Surgical Care
Post-surgical care involves monitoring and supporting a patient’s recovery after a surgical procedure. This includes managing pain, preventing infection, and ensuring proper healing of the surgical site. Healthcare providers may give instructions on medication, wound care, and activity restrictions to promote a smooth recovery.
Patients are often advised to follow up with their surgeon for check-ups and to report any unusual symptoms, such as increased pain or swelling. Adequate rest, hydration, and nutrition are also essential components of post-surgical care, helping the body to heal effectively and return to normal activities.
