Patient's question:
My wife had a minimally invasive ectopic pregnancy surgery on December 12th. Six days after the surgery, there was slight inflammation around her navel wound. She misses home very much and wants to ask how many days it usually takes to be discharged after a minimally invasive ectopic pregnancy surgery?Doctor's answer:
During an ectopic pregnancy surgery, if the hysteroscopic method is chosen, the hospital stay is approximately one week. Generally, the patient will undergo some related tests on the first day of admission. When the tests indicate no surgical contraindications, the surgery will be performed on the second day. After the surgery, routine intravenous fluid and anti-inflammatory treatment will be administered for three to five days, so the total hospital stay is about one week. However, if unexpected complications occur, such as excessive bleeding in the patient, the hospital stay may be slightly longer.
