Postoperative Recovery

Postoperative recovery refers to the period following surgery when a patient is monitored and cared for as they heal. This phase typically occurs in a recovery room and can last from a few hours to several days, depending on the surgery's complexity. During recovery, healthcare providers check vital signs, manage pain, and ensure the patient is stable before they return to a regular ward or go home. Factors such as the type of surgery, individual health, and any complications can influence recovery time and how quickly a patient can resume normal activities.
