Operation type and recovery time
Hordeum is a common hand tumor, which often needs surgical treatment. The types of surgery are mainly divided into open surgery and endoscopic surgery.
For open surgery, the incision is large and needs to be performed under local anesthesia. It usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks to fully recover. In the first 24 to 48 hours after surgery, the patient needs to rest completely to avoid overexertion. During this period, there will be a certain degree of swelling, pain and congestion. Patients need to use ice packs to compress their hands and take pain relievers prescribed by doctors. From the third day, you can gradually resume normal activities, but you still need to avoid overexertion and strenuous exercise. Around the second week, the wound began to heal, and the pain gradually decreased, which could gradually increase the mild activity of the hand. After about 3 weeks, the hand basically returned to normal.
For endoscopic surgery, the incision is small, and local anesthesia is used. The recovery time after surgery is usually short, and patients can be discharged on the day of surgery, but still need to pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion. Usually within 1 to 2 weeks, the hands can basically return to normal.
Wound care and recovery
Wound care is the key recovery link after the operation of stylosoma. Before the wound is healed, the patient should keep the wound clean and dry. Usually on the second day after the operation, the patient needs to go to the hospital for wound dressing. The doctor will provide professional wound care for the patient, dredge the wound, remove the residue, and conduct proper disinfection before dressing. The doctor will decide the time of the next dressing change according to the wound healing.
In order to promote wound healing, patients also need to pay attention to the adjustment of diet and living habits. Take more food rich in vitamin C and protein to help the wound heal. In addition, keep the hand wound clean to avoid contamination and infection. During recovery, patients also need to avoid drinking, smoking and exposure to excessive sunlight, which may affect wound healing.
Rehabilitation movement and functional recovery
The rehabilitation exercise after the operation of styloma is very important for the recovery of hand function. After the wound has basically healed, the doctor will make a rehabilitation plan according to the patient's condition. Rehabilitation exercises include finger flexibility, grip strength and arm muscle exercises.
Finger flexibility training usually starts from stretching, flexing and rotating fingers, gradually increasing the difficulty and scope. The grip exercise can be carried out with a grip ball or bandage to gradually increase the strength of the grip. For the exercise of arm muscles, you can carry out some simple lifting and stretching exercises to enhance the strength of the arm.
The frequency and intensity of rehabilitation exercise should be determined according to the individual condition of the patient. It usually takes at least 4 to 8 weeks to recover to the normal level. In the process of rehabilitation, patients should pay attention to avoid overexertion, so as not to cause wound recurrence or other discomfort.
Follow up and summary
After the operation, patients need to follow the doctor's advice for regular follow-up visits. The purpose of the follow-up visit is to check the wound healing and the recovery of hand function, and to deal with any possible complications. Follow up visits are usually carried out in the first, third and sixth weeks after the operation.
In general, the recovery time after surgery for styloma varies depending on the type of surgery, individual differences, and recovery conditions. Most patients need 2 to 3 weeks to basically return to normal, but complete recovery may take 4 to 8 weeks. Postoperative wound care and rehabilitation exercise are both important. Only correct recovery measures can speed up recovery time and avoid complications.
