What should you eat after laparoscopic surgery? Usually after laparoscopic surgery recovers sober, you can start to eat liquid food (such as: porridge), the next day can return to normal diet, because the wound healing requires the use of protein, so it is necessary to ingest high-protein food (such as: fish, Lean meat, eggs...) to accelerate wound healing, and avoid irritating foods, so as not to stimulate gastric acid secretion and cause gastrointestinal discomfort (for example: pepper, smoke, oil, coffee).
The biggest difference between laparoscopic surgery and general laparotomy is that carbon dioxide needs to be infused during the operation to make the pneumoperitoneum easier to operate, so it is easy to have residual carbon dioxide gas in the abdomen after laparoscopic surgery, so it is advisable to eat and drink after laparoscopic surgery Increase the intake of vegetables and high-fiber fruits, and avoid gas-producing foods, such as sweet potatoes, beans, onions, etc., so as to reduce discomfort caused by postoperative abdominal distension.
As for the larger laparoscopic surgery, such as hysterectomy, intestinal adhesion reduction surgery, cervical cancer eradication surgery, etc., because of the longer anesthesia time and the longer operation time, the gastrointestinal tract absorbs more gas. It is easier to have abdominal distension, so it is more appropriate to eat after 24 hours. For patients who are prone to nausea, vomiting and idiosyncratic postoperatively, there is no need to force themselves to eat. You can eat after the anesthesia has completely subsided.
