What nursing tasks should you do after intestinal tumor surgery

Patients after surgery are relatively fragile both physically and mentally. Understanding the common sense of postoperative care for intestinal tumors can help patients recover after surgery and eliminate psychological fears.

Common knowledge of postoperative care for intestinal tumors:

(1) Observe the patient’s vital signs and changes in condition, and observe any bleeding from the wound.

(2) After surgery, fasting is recommended and gastrointestinal decompression is performed until intestinal motility is restored before eating. Diet should be gradually increased.

(3) Keep drainage unobstructed and flush the drainage tube regularly as directed by the doctor.

(4) Those with long-term urinary catheters should clean the urethral opening daily to prevent urinary tract infections.

(5) Keep the skin around the stoma clean and dry. Apply zinc oxide ointment or comfrey oil.

(6) Take good care of the artificial rectum.

Having the correct knowledge of postoperative care for intestinal tumors and providing good postoperative care for patients can help patients recover their health faster.
