Post-operative Protocols

Post-operative protocols are a set of instructions and guidelines given after surgery to promote healing, prevent complications, and ensure the best recovery. They typically include activities to avoid, wound care instructions, medication schedules, and follow-up appointments. Rest and gradual return to normal activities are emphasized, along with signs of potential problems like infection or unusual pain. Adhering to these protocols helps the body heal properly and reduces the risk of issues, allowing a smoother recovery process. Your healthcare provider will customize these guidelines based on your specific surgery and health condition.
