Sound tumour removal of the liver is an important means of treating such diseases. Post-operative rehabilitation plays a key role in restoring health and improving the quality of life of patients. The following are comprehensive and practical recommendations for rehabilitation.
Critical points during post-operative hospitalization The liver is usually sent to the intensive care ward for close observation, and the medical staff continuously monitors vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and blood oxygen saturation. During this period, family members should cooperate with the medical care and provide timely feedback on minor changes in the patient. When the patient ‘ s vital signs are stabilized and transferred to the general ward, care for the wound becomes a priority. (c) Maintain a clean and dry surgical cut, strictly follow the medical staff ‘ s arrangements for the replacement of medicines, and monitor closely whether there are signs of infection, such as seepage, seepage, edema or fever. If anomalies are detected, the doctor must be informed immediately. In terms of diet, the gastrointestinal function at the beginning of the operation is inhibited and is subject to a period of fasting, usually until the intestinal vibration is restored and the anus is ventilated, so that a small amount of water can be tried first. In the absence of ill-health, there has been a gradual transition to food currents, such as rice soup, vegetable soup, and so on, and then a gradual shift to semi-meal, such as gruelling, soft noodles, etc. The principles of diet should be low-fat, high-protein, high-vitamins and digestive, avoiding greasy, spicy and irritating foods, in order to prevent increased liver burden and gastrointestinal discomfort.
II. Importance and methodology of early activities
Early post-operative activity is of great significance for patients with benign tumours in the liver. It helps to promote gastrointestinal creeping recovery and to prevent lung complications, such as pneumonia, pneumonia, etc., and also improves the blood cycle, reduces the risk of leopardization, promotes healing and recovery of body function. On the first day of the operation, the patient can carry out simple flippings and limbs in the bed, such as fistshakes, knee stretches and ankles, each time depending on his or her degree of tolerance, usually for several minutes, which can be repeated after a period of time. The day after the operation, if the patient ‘ s physical strength permits, he or she may attempt to sit by the bed, lean his or her legs against the bed, then stand slowly after a little rest and walk at short distances by the bed. As the body adapts, the time and distance of activity increases. It needs to be noted, however, that family or medical staff are to accompany the activities in order to prevent fall-on injuries due to unforeseen events such as dizziness and inactivity.
III. Continuing rehabilitation measures after discharge
The discharge does not mean the end of rehabilitation, but rather the beginning of a sustained recovery phase. Patients need to ensure adequate rest time, as much as possible, 7 – 8 hours of high-quality sleep every night, and avoid staying up and overworking. At the same time, it is important to remain relaxed and enjoyable and to avoid a prolonged period of anxiety, stress and depression that may affect the normal functioning of the liver and the overall recovery of the body. On the diet, the principles of low fat, high proteins and high vitamins continue to be upheld, and fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains and good-quality protein foods (e.g., skinny meat, fish, eggs, beans) are increased, fat, sugar and salt intake are strictly controlled, smoking and alcohol are avoided, and caffeine-containing beverages and processed foods are avoided.
In addition, regular reviews are key to monitoring liver recovery and identifying potential problems in a timely manner. The first review is usually carried out within 1-2 weeks of discharge, and the main examination items include liver function, blood protocol, liver ultrasound, etc., in order to understand the functional state of the liver, signs of infection and the recovery of liver tissue. Thereafter, on the recommendation of the doctor, the time interval for review was gradually extended. In the course of rehabilitation, if the patient suffers from any symptoms of discomfort, such as right upper abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, nausea, vomiting, yellow salivation (skin and membrane yellow), fever, etc., he or she should immediately visit the hospital without delay. Rehabilitation after a benign tumour of the liver is a comprehensive, long-term process, requiring the joint efforts and close cooperation of the patient himself, his family and medical personnel.
Through scientifically sound rehabilitation measures, patients can maximize their liver function, improve their quality of life and return to healthy life.
