| Patients who have been operated with microsurgical technique are standing up and walking on the same day or one day after the operation. The average length of stay in the hospital is one or two days. Patients who are discharged can take a bath at home by removing the primapor themselves one week later. They don’t need stitches. For the first time, it is more appropriate to clean them by standing and taking a shower, rather than sitting down and leaning forward while taking a bath. It is useful to have a bath mat so that the patient’s feet do not slip during the bath, and a handle on the wall to hold on when necessary. Under normal conditions, the activities of patients increase day by day and the duration varies from person to person, and they reach their normal daily lives within one to three weeks. We recommend starting post-operative exercises three weeks after the operation. It is enough to do each movement five times a day for a month first. In the following period, it is sufficient to increase the number of movements by five each month. After the operation, patients often ask us, “What will I pay attention to? Which movements will I do and which will I not do?” they ask. After the operation, they are told that their illness is over, that they are subject to more or less the same conditions that normal people should pay attention to from now on, and they are advised to meticulously follow the “100 advices” that we will describe in detail in the next pages. In order to start their sexual life, they have to wait one month after the operation. There is no harm in getting pregnant one and a half months after the operation. Under normal circumstances, patients come for control three months after surgery. |
