Can you walk more after cervical surgery?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, patients can get out of bed and walk appropriately 24 hours after surgery, but sometimes it depends on the patient's overall postoperative condition. For routine abdominal incisions, the stitches are usually removed 7 days after surgery. If the wound heals well, the patient can be discharged after another 1-2 days of observation. The length of most wounds is about 10-15 cm. For laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, the incisions are very small, and patients can usually be discharged 5-7 days after surgery.
