Postoperative Care in Transplant Surgery

Postoperative care in transplant surgery involves monitoring and supporting the patient’s recovery after receiving a new organ. This includes managing pain, preventing infections, and ensuring the organ functions well. Doctors regularly check vital signs and lab results to catch any complications early. Patients often need to take immunosuppressive medications to prevent their body from rejecting the new organ. Nutrition, physical activity, and emotional support are also important for recovery. Follow-up appointments help track progress and adjust treatments as needed, ensuring the best possible outcome for the transplant recipient.
