Post-Surgical Care

Recovering from surgery, regardless of the type, can be physically and emotionally challenging for the patient and their family. It may not be possible for family members to take the necessary time off of work to care for a loved one after surgery. Caregivers can be a big help, but you may require an extra level of skilled care that can only be provided by a medical professional.
The type of postoperative care you need depends on the type of surgery you have, as well as your health history. It often includes pain management, medication management, and wound care. Postoperative care begins immediately after surgery.
