Features: Anyone can get sick, but surgery is not an experience everyone goes through. Surgical treatment often touches the hearts of patients and their families more than general internal diseases. Is it important for abdominal surgery to pass gas? How to prevent incisional dehiscence; how many days after surgery can stitches be removed? Are surgical scars related to diet? What preparations are generally required before surgery? Etc.
As long as surgical treatment has not been the patient's only choice, neither doctors nor patients would choose surgery lightly. For the general public, there are too many questions about surgery: whether to have surgery, what kind of surgery to have, how great are the risks of surgery, when to have surgery, will it recur after surgery, will there be postoperative complications, etc. Therefore, knowledge about the pre- and post-surgery period is increasingly concerned by patients and their families.
