Duration of sick leave after hysterectomy. If you had an operation to remove appendicitis, how many days does sick leave last?

Collapse

Removing the uterus is quite complex procedure, followed by a long period recovery. At this time, a woman must be at home or even in hospital conditions to avoid complications. Compiled sick leave after removal of the uterus, which gives the woman the opportunity to go on leave due to health problems.

What is sick leave and why is it needed?

A sick leave certificate is a document confirming a woman’s incapacity for work. After removal of the uterus, it is issued legally. Filled out on a special form and certified with stamps. This document must contain the following information:

Last and first name of the patient, as well as her medical card number.
Description of the disease using coded information. In this case, a certain term is designated by one or another code.
Signature of the head physician and the patient. The woman must sign in person.

It must be filled out in block letters of the Russian language in black ink. Now it is possible to fill out the form on special printing printers, but there must be spaces between the words. Punctuation is used where necessary. Data must be entered into special columns for this purpose, and going beyond them is prohibited. All written information must comply with the rules of the Russian language and meet legal requirements.

Is sick leave provided after hysterectomy?

There must be certain grounds for issuing sick leave. As a rule, after removal of the uterus such grounds are present, therefore, by law, the woman must receive the appropriate document. However, the duration recovery period is individual, so the period indicated on the sick leave may vary.

For how long do they give it?

The postoperative period is all the time that passes from the operation to full recovery female body. During this period of time, early and late stage recovery. For 5-10 days, the woman should be in a hospital under the supervision of a doctor. At this time, the patient may experience very severe pain in the lower abdomen, which is accompanied by loss of appetite and insomnia.

The woman is then discharged from the hospital. At this time, she should be especially attentive to her condition. If new symptoms appear (for example, pain intensifies), an urgent check with a doctor is required. Naturally, during this period there can be no talk of any work. How long does sick leave last after hysterectomy? This usually takes at least 4 weeks, including the period of hospital stay.

But depending on the type surgical intervention this period may vary:

If vaginal hysterescopy was performed accompanied by a laparoscope, tissue healing occurs faster. Therefore, a woman is given sick leave for no longer than 2-4 weeks.
At abdominal surgery, which is performed through the abdominal cavity, sick leave is usually issued for 4 weeks.
In the presence of postoperative complications, for example, infection in a wound, the period of sick leave can be increased to 6 weeks.

Moreover, if at the end of the sick leave period it is discovered that the woman cannot yet return to work due to health problems, she is given another document. She can receive several hospital documents in a row at once.

In order for the body to recover faster, a woman must follow a number of measures. In particular, you should not lift heavy objects, but you must observe good personal hygiene.

Sick leave

How to get sick leave?

After removal of the uterus, a woman receives sick leave. This is indicated in various legislative acts: “Law on the protection of the health of citizens of the Russian Federation”, “Law on the procedure for issuing certificates of incapacity for work”, etc. To do this, she must be insured. The document can only be issued by a licensed organization. To obtain a certificate of incapacity for work, the patient must provide the hospital with a document indicating her personal data (this could be a driver’s license, passport, insurance, etc.).

If a woman has worked in 2 institutions at once for at least 2 years, she must present her work book. Upon confirmation of two years of experience, she is issued 2 sick leave certificates at once.

What to do if they don’t give you sick leave?

Unfortunately, in some cases a woman may be denied a sick leave certificate. Sometimes doctors refer to the fact that the patient did not apply to her place of registration for medical treatment. medical care. However, if a woman has an insurance policy, such a statement from doctors is illegal. After all, the patient has the right to receive treatment throughout the entire Russian Federation and independently choose medical institution and the attending physician.

If after surgery to remove the uterus they refuse to issue a certificate of incapacity for work, you should contact the district clinic. Here you need to write a statement that will be sent to the insurance company that issued the policy to the patient. After the temporary proceedings, the woman must receive the necessary certificate.

If the document is not issued because the doctor considers the woman to be able to work, and this is not the case after removal of the uterus, you should contact another specialist. It is advisable to use the services private clinic. The doctor will examine the patient and write his conclusions. After this, you need to present them at the district clinic so that the results obtained are confirmed or refuted.

Therefore, surgery to remove the uterus is legal basis to receive sick leave. Moreover, the woman should stay at home until her body recovers. If such a document is refused, it is recommended to contact the regional health department and the insurance company to clarify the circumstances.

The legislation establishes exactly how many days of sick leave are given after surgery, but the period determined by law is sometimes not enough for the operated patient to fully recover. In such a situation, doctors have complete “carte blanche” in their hands.: if they consider it necessary, they will leave the patient on sick leave for an extremely long period, and the employer will not be able to object to this.

What is the deadline set by law?

By law, the period of sick leave after surgery is 10 days. Of course, the entire period while the patient was in the hospital is also taken into account.

If the attending physician of an operated patient believes that 10 days are not enough for the body to recover, he can personally extend the certificate of incapacity for work to 30 days. If the patient needs even more time to recover, the attending physician has the right to submit the issue of extending sick leave to the medical commission for consideration. This is how it is determined how many days of sick leave will be given after an operation that turned out to be complex.

The powers of the collegial body are far greater than those of a single doctor. A medical commission can easily send a citizen who has undergone surgery to a paid leave of 10-12 months - but only if the attending physician can convince the members of the commission that the patient really needs it.

It is clear that the temptation is great, but you should not try to enter into a criminal conspiracy with a doctor. No one medical officer will not risk his reputation, especially with the current fines - anyone who has tried to “buy” sick leave in the last 3-4 years already knows about this.

The long-term certificate of incapacity for work has a drawback: the operated citizen will not be allowed to forget about the hospital - he will have to appear at the medical institution once every 15 days. After each examination, the attending physician must confirm the need to continue rehabilitation period. If the doctor concludes that the person operated on is already healthy enough to go to work, he will close the certificate of incapacity for work ahead of schedule.

Cunning people who understand this know how to extend sick leave after surgery: they begin to “put on a comedy” in front of their attending physicians, complaining of pain in one place or another. However, such citizens should remember that there is a risk of “playing too hard”: if within 6 months doctors do not notice any progress, they will send the citizen for a medical and social examination.

You can apply for an extension of rest in one more case - if the doctor after complex operation will send the patient to a sanatorium. Then the certificate of incapacity for work is extended for a maximum of 24 days.

Medical practice: duration of rehabilitation after various operations

The fact that the legislation “scrubs” everyone “with the same brush” is at least strange, and at most unreasonable. Establishing the same rehabilitation period for people who have had appendicitis removed and spine surgery - what gate does this go into? No need to have medical education and in general, at least understand enough about healthcare to understand: this legal norm needs adjustments.

Fortunately, the law leaves doctors the right to be guided common sense when prescribing a rehabilitation period. Within medical practice Some unwritten norms have developed, so the patient can approximately know how many days of paid rest the doctor will provide, based on the type of surgical intervention. Approximate dates are as follows (they were approved by Order of the Ministry of Health N 2510/9362-34 of 08/21/2000).

Removal of the appendix. From 16 to 21 days - this is how long sick leave lasts after surgery for appendicitis. Please note that these terms are relevant only if the patient was operated on by laparotomy - that is, cut soft fabrics over the appendix. After laparoscopy - an operation that involves less trauma - a certificate of incapacity for work is issued for only 5-7 days.

Rest can be extended to 1 month if the patient continues to recover after removal of the appendix. elevated temperature. However, problems after appendicitis surgery most often occur in older people and children - neither of them need sick leave.

Removal inguinal hernia. This is already quite a serious operation. The average length of sick leave after inguinal hernia surgery is 1.5 months. So long term rehabilitation is due to the fact that the patient begins to return to the normal rhythm of life only after a month.

Eye surgery. The nature of the surgical intervention matters. For example, in case of retinal detachment after eye surgery, sick leave is given for up to 2 months. The certificate of incapacity for work can be closed earlier if it is determined that the restoration of health is progressing at an accelerated pace. After cataract removal, the rest is much shorter - its duration is about 14 days.

Note: The duration of sick leave depends not only on the patient’s health status, but also on the type of work he does. If the patient is a typical office worker who spends the entire working day in front of a computer monitor, he has a chance for a fairly long rest.

Removal of the fallopian tube. The maximum duration of sick leave after surgery to remove the uterus is 40 days. It is useless to ask a doctor for a longer-term vacation: it is only possible in case of complications. If the patient's work involves heavy physical activity, she should discuss with her employer the possibility of switching to lighter work - there is no reason to doubt that the attending physician will issue such a recommendation. For 3 months after removal of the fallopian tube, it is prohibited to lift anything weighing more than 3 kg, otherwise you can easily end up on the operating table again.

Spine surgery. The maximum duration of sick leave after spinal surgery has not been established - the period of rest depends on how the rehabilitation proceeds. An employer should definitely not wait for an employee to appear at work earlier than 2 months after surgery.

Leg vein surgery. Sick leave after surgery on the leg veins is issued for two weeks. The rest period can be extended to 1 month if the patient’s work is sedentary or involves heavy physical activity.

Note: After removing varicose veins, you should avoid exertion for 2-3 months. Therefore, it is worth discussing with your employer the possibility of temporarily switching to light work.

But where can you extend your sick leave after surgery if you feel unwell? You need to go to the hospital to see your doctor and talk about your health problems and illness. You should arrive exactly at prescribed by a doctor day is important. If a citizen misses the appointed day without a valid reason, a special mark will be placed on the certificate of incapacity for work. If there is such a mark, the amount of temporary disability benefits may be reduced.

If after surgery the person operated on is unable to move independently, the doctor must come to his home to extend his sick leave. This obligation is established by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 624N dated June 29, 2011.

Payment for sick leave after surgery

The procedure for paying for sick leave after surgery is in no way different from the procedure for paying for sick leave issued, say, due to a cold. The first three days are compensated by the employer, the rest are paid by the Social Insurance Fund. The amount of payment depends on 2 factors: general length of service and average level of labor income for the last 2 years.

The calculation is made like this.

If the employee's work experience is less than 5 years, he is paid 60% of the average salary.

With 5 to 8 years of experience, a citizen receives 80% of the salary.

If the length of service exceeds 8 years, the employee has the right to compensation in full size average salary.

Days for which sick leave was extended are paid as basic days.

The main recommendation for people who have undergone surgery is this: You should not spend the rehabilitation period “on your feet” and rush to get back to work as quickly as possible. This The best way to find myself in a hospital bed again. Unfortunately, Russian employers are not inclined to show flexibility when it comes to the health of their subordinates - they strive to make a profit now, without thinking about how the employee will live with poor health later. If a company does not care about the condition and health of an employee, does it deserve to give her the most valuable thing - time of life?

More and more interventions are being performed using laparoscopy various pathologies abdominal cavity and small pelvis. Such operations are especially popular in gynecological practice.

This article is about how long sick leave can last after laparoscopy, as well as some of the features of issuing it after operations such as laparoscopy of ovarian cysts, fallopian tubes, hysterectomy and other pelvic interventions. Namely, how many days on average a patient is expected to stay in the hospital, how long after she can be discharged after many types of operations.

Laparoscopy has a number of advantages compared to laparotomy

Legal aspects

Documents regulating the issuance of certificates of incapacity for work in Russia:

Federal Law No. 323.
Orders of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia, including order No. 624n “On approval of the procedure for issuing certificates of incapacity for work.”

A sick leave certificate is issued by the attending physician from the day of hospitalization, lasting for the entire duration of the disability. He determines how long the sick leave should last after laparoscopy for this particular patient. Sometimes a certificate of temporary incapacity for work can be issued by a doctor at a clinic who referred the patient to a hospital to continue treatment.

If a patient travels for consultation or medical care (as directed by a medical commission) to a medical organization located in another locality, then she is given sick leave of sufficient duration to include the days it will take to get to the counseling site.

It is very important to appear on the day determined by the doctor for a follow-up examination and closure of the sick leave. Otherwise, medical worker will put a mark on the document about violation of the regime, and this may enable the employer not to pay monetary compensation for sick days in full.

The sick leave must be submitted to the accounting department, human resources department or immediate supervisor, depending on the size of the organization. If the patient has several places of work, then the number of copies should correspond to the number of places of work.

Sick leave certificates can only be issued by licensed medical organizations providing services for examination of temporary disability

Periods of incapacity for work

The length of time for which sick leave is issued after laparoscopy is determined in each specific case by the attending physician.

In general, laparoscopic intervention is less traumatic in comparison with an operation performed through an open approach and requires early activation. The patient does not need to comply bed rest, it can even cause harm. A few hours after the operation, you can usually sit up in bed; from the next day, the woman needs to get out of bed and move. Moderate physical activity(not through pain) will only contribute to a speedy recovery.

There is no clear framework for how many days sick leave is given. Recovery time also depends on what kind of surgery was performed and how hard it is tolerated by the body. Thus, a woman can leave the hospital within a few hours after laparoscopic surgery, if it was not severe, while falling under the supervision of a gynecologist at the clinic. But it is better after any operation (be it resection of an ovarian cyst or removal of the uterus) to remain under the supervision of specialists for the first day. The patient is then discharged from the hospital. If a woman's condition does not allow her to perform labor activity or work related to physical labor, the attending doctor issues a certificate of temporary incapacity for work.

Recovery time after laparoscopy depends on the extent of the operation and other factors.

The doctor has the right to issue sick leave for a period of no more than 15 days; in order to extend it, a special medical commission will be required. Most often, recovery after laparoscopy of an ovarian cyst, interventions on fallopian tubes takes about 4-5 days, while an operation such as a hysterectomy can require up to 45 days of sick leave.

On average, recovery after laparoscopic interventions takes 15 days. The patient spends the first 5 days in the hospital under the supervision of doctors. She is then discharged and undergoes rehabilitation at home.

The basis for extending sick leave arises when a particular complication occurs or when repeated surgical intervention is necessary (for example, removal of the uterus).

Factors that matter

Thus, there is no clearly established time during which patients should remain on sick leave after laparoscopic operations on the female reproductive system. It's in everyone clinical case determined individually. Much depends on the severity of the operation, for example, removal of the uterus will require more time for rehabilitation than a low-traumatic intervention.

Principles, adherence to which influences recovery after these laparoscopic interventions:

You should eat a lightly digestible diet for the first few days after surgery, but after a week you can return to your normal diet.
During the first weeks, you need to limit sports activities and not lift heavy objects.
Sufficient physical activity has a beneficial effect on the recovery of the body.
After many operations on the female genital organs, it is necessary to limit sex for 1-2 weeks.

If the patient follows the doctor's instructions and listens to her body's signals, her recovery period is likely to go smoothly. If complications occur, you should contact your doctor as soon as possible so that he can quickly correct the condition.

Appendix – appendix cecum, which is involved in the process of hematopoiesis. It's called appendicitis inflammatory process originating in the appendix: the thin mucous membrane becomes inflamed, then the inflammatory process spreads to the appendix.

To prevent the disease from rupturing the appendix, emergency surgery (appendectomy) is prescribed. Delay threatens peritonitis, worsening general condition and death.

The process is removed only during surgery: laparoscopy or laparotomy. Let's take a closer look at each type of surgical intervention, how it is performed, and when it is appropriate.

Laparoscopy

Using this technique, the surgeon removes the inflamed appendage through small incisions in the abdominal wall. During the operation, surgeons use a special optical device - a laparoscope (microscopic television camera). It is inserted into the abdominal cavity and makes it possible accurate diagnosis without a cavity incision.

Laparoscopy is a more gentle method for removing the appendix.. Patients recover within a few days, and only 3 small and almost invisible scars (5-10 mm) remain on the abdomen at the puncture sites.

Laparotomy (abdominal surgery)

If complications arise, for example, the appendix ruptures or inflammation spreads to nearby tissues, laparoscopy is not enough. This type of intervention can be performed, but only for diagnostic purposes.

To remove the inflamed appendix and clean the abdominal cavity, surgeons resort to laparotomy. This is an abdominal operation in which the abdominal cavity is dissected.

The length of the incision is 5-10 cm. After abdominal surgery recovery lasts longer heat can last from 5 to 7 days.

Recovery period

Depending on how exactly the operation was performed, recovery can last from 2 days to 2 weeks. During laparoscopic surgery, patients are discharged on the 2-3rd day, and after laparotomy - on the 10th day.

If complications arise (hernia, peritonitis, inflammation of the suture, low-grade fever, abscess), the duration of hospital stay increases.

ATTENTION! To speed up discharge and avoid complications, the patient needs to adhere to all medical instructions, follow a regimen and eat certain foods.

Regime and diet

After removal of the appendix, patients are recommended to start walking (always in a bandage) within 5-6 hours after the operation. A little physical activity helps rapid recovery body and prevents the formation of adhesions.

Heavy physical activity and lifting loads are strictly contraindicated for up to 3 months, as all this can lead to the suture coming apart or a hernia occurring.

Patients are advised to sleep at least 8 hours a day, not drink alcohol for 3-4 weeks, and stay as healthy as possible. healthy image life. The same applies to nutrition: it should be light, balanced and of high quality.

In the first 12 hours after surgery, when the body recovers from anesthesia, you should not eat food.. In the first 3 days, meals are very gentle, light and frequent: at least 5-6 times a day.
It can be:

chicken broths (with a small amount of fat, for example, from chicken breast);
chicken meat: only boiled and pureed;
vegetable purees: from potatoes, pumpkin, zucchini;
dairy products: low-fat and sugar-free (kefir and yogurt);
boiled rice in water.

A week after the operation, you can introduce slimy porridges in water, liquid unleavened soups without salt, pureed soups from vegetables, a small amount of fresh greens, boiled carrots, dried fruits, baked apples.

Gradually the menu will expand and you will be able to enter more products, but it is better to avoid fatty, spicy and salty dishes in principle.

ADVICE! In addition to nutrition, pay attention to water. The more you drink, the better it is for the body: all toxins are more actively removed from it, it is cleansed and restored faster.

Water can be replenished herbal teas, fresh natural juices and compotes without sugar. You need to drink 1.5-2 liters per day.

Temperature after intervention

After surgery, an increase in temperature is normal. A focus of inflammation occurs in the body, the immune system actively involved in work. During this, the temperature rises to 37-38 degrees and lasts from 2 to 10 days.

After laparoscopy the temperature goes away naturally on the 2-3rd day, and after laparotomy it can last up to 10 days. Sometimes the temperature can last for 3-6 months. The reason for this may be a violation of thermoregulation or other complications.

In such cases, treatment is carried out with antibacterial drugs, anti-inflammatory therapy is prescribed, or treated symptomatically with antipyretics. It all depends on the cause, which is determined by the doctor.

When are stitches usually removed?

The abdominal wall is sutured with absorbable threads, and the skin with strong silk or synthetic threads. If wound healing proceeds without complications and the wound is covered with a crust, the sutures are removed within 7-10 days.

For what period are the newsletters provided?

The rules for issuing sick leave are regulated by Article No. 183 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, orders of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation No. 624n dated June 29, 2011 and No. 31n dated January 21, 2012. It is issued for a period of 5 to 15 days, depending on how the appendectomy was performed.

Time off from work

The duration of the rehabilitation period, which is prescribed on the sick leave and frees the patient from work, depends on the patient’s condition and on the method by which the operation was performed:

with laparotomy it is 5-7 days;
with laparoscopy – 10-15 days;
in case of complications during surgery or postoperative period– up to 30 days.

How to renew?

To request an extension of the terms specified on the sick leave, you need:

contact the head doctor of the hospital or your attending physician;
come on your own or wait medical commission who will conduct the examination;
the certificate of incapacity for work is updated depending on what decision the commission makes.

Only the attending physician or medical commission who work in the institution where the patient was operated on and treated. Making amendments to the sick leave certificate on your own is unacceptable., such a document is considered invalid.

Reasons for extension

Extension of sick leave is possible only in case of complications that appeared during surgery or during the rehabilitation period: diffuse or local peritonitis, rupture of the appendix, thrombophlebitis, appendiceal infiltrate (appearance of fluid).

If the patient is diagnosed with such complications, he continues to be treated in the hospital.

Depending on what decision the doctors make after the service, Sick leave can be extended for up to 30 days. In particular severe cases it could be several months.

REFERENCE! The maximum period for which sick leave can be extended is 12 months.

Decor

The registration is handled by the doctor and the patient’s employer. The doctor prescribes a diagnosis and indicates the state of health. The period is prescribed using the appropriate unified code, which is indicated in the ICD - K35-38.

Codes indicating common cause disability, for appendicitis it is 01 (a disease that does not allow the employee to attend the workplace).

The employee does not fill out anything on the sick leave form. He only needs to come to the doctor, pick up the sheet and give it to the employer.

The employer fills out information on the sick leave certificate that relates to payment calculations and information about the company. Data for the tax office must be recorded. On a sick leave certificate, the tax code is the number 2300.

Conclusion

An appendectomy is a simple operation. Patients recover quickly and within 7-15 calendar days can go to work. If complications arise, you can ask for an extension of sick leave for the required period. You cannot do this on your own; the extension period is determined only after an examination by a medical board.

At least once in our lives, each of us took sick leave. It was good when you had to take sick leave because common cold, and not because it’s coming surgery. After the operation, it is imperative to undergo complete rehabilitation so that no complications arise and the recovery is successful. Today you will find out how many days sick leave is given after laparoscopic surgery.

Recovery: how is the first day after laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is a safe, low-traumatic operation compared to abdominal manipulation. However, it is still necessary to complete the rehabilitation period.

On the first day after laparoscopy, the woman should remain in the hospital under close medical supervision. This is because after the anesthesia wears off, the patient may begin to feel pain in the lower abdomen.

First day medical staff processes postoperative sutures. You can get out of bed, but you cannot sudden movements and being too active.

For each patient, recovery occurs differently: depending on the reserves and condition of the body. On average, recovery takes from 4 days, and full course rehabilitation approximately 30 days (month).

Time is necessary for not only the tissue to heal, but also the internal organs on which the operation was performed. To fully return to normal and gain strength, you need to follow all the instructions of your doctor.

The postoperative period begins to count from the time when the operation was completed until discharge on sick leave. After the patient recovers from anesthesia, he begins to feel some discomfort and painful sensations in the area where the operation took place. This is quite normal, considering that the tissues are damaged one way or another.

When the pain is unbearable, the patient may be prescribed analgesics.

There are also other features early period recovery:

After laparoscopy, in some cases an appointment is necessary antibacterial drugs in order to avoid infection.
If the intervention is minimally invasive, then it allows you to maintain activity in the first days; after 10 hours you can get up to go to the toilet on your own.
You can drink only non-carbonated purified water for the first 5 hours; if you have an appetite, you can try drinking low-fat broth.
Laparoscopic manipulations are carried out using gas, which is why recovery, especially for thin women, is accompanied by aches in the knees, neck, shoulders and abdomen. In order for the remaining substances to leave the body, the nurse will show exercises. They will need to be done without getting out of bed.
Sometimes medications with anticoagulant properties may be prescribed. Lying down can cause thrombosis. Stockings, which should be put on before surgery and worn after, will also help.

How many days does treatment last?

The patient stays in the hospital for about 10 days. This number of days is enough to monitor the healing of the sutures and restore general health. During this time, the woman will already get up and get the hang of caring for herself after laparoscopy.

May bother you in the first 4 days aching pain in areas where punctures were made. This occurs because the tissues have been injured. One more unpleasant symptom general malaise appears.

It will also be possible for your body temperature to rise slightly above 37 degrees – this is also normal after such an operation. Other discomfort will be monitored by a doctor who knows whether it is dangerous or within normal limits.

Certainly, postoperative rehabilitation– this is not only 10 days of staying under the supervision of doctors. A woman also needs to rest at home for some time before going to work. Sick leave after laparoscopy is issued for approximately 7-10 days.

But after 10 days it cannot be said that the body is ready for heavy stress.

You need to take care:

you cannot have sexual intercourse for a month;
visit solariums, baths, saunas, beaches (wash only in the shower);
you can’t play sports for 1 month;
do not travel;
control the weight of the objects being lifted;
It is recommended to wear special stockings for 3 weeks after surgery.

Taking into account the fact that laparoscopy is considered a low-traumatic operation compared to abdominal surgery, how many days of sick leave are given still depends on the following factors:

what size was the cyst or other formation that was removed;
were there any complications;
general condition after surgery.

If there are some problems with health and recovery, sick leave can be extended by prescribing additional therapy.

What complications can occur after laparoscopy?

As we said above, you can extend sick leave if, after the rehabilitation period, problems arise with recovery. Complications, of course, are rare. However, you need to know about them in order to seek medical help in time.

Possible complications after laparoscopy:

damage to others internal organs(urea, intestines);
vascular injury;
problems with the cardiovascular system;
suppuration of postoperative sutures;
bleeding;
pneumonia;
thrombophlebitis;
allergy to anesthesia.

Also, after laparoscopy, the body is weakened, and you can easily catch an infection.

You need to sound the alarm if after laparoscopy:

temperature stays above 38 degrees for more than 1 day;
severe pain in the lower abdomen;
pain in the suture area, redness;
weakness, fatigue, confusion, after anesthesia for more than 6 hours;
yellow-red vaginal discharge.

Sick leave after surgery

An important question after the intervention: how many days is sick leave given? As a rule, under normal circumstances, sick leave is issued for approximately 10 days. After the stitches have completely healed, you can go to work.

Sometimes patients already on the 5th day feel full of strength and energy, ready for work and defense, this depends on the characteristics of the body. But it's still not worth the risk. You must fully adhere to the recommendations of your doctor in order to fully recover.

In some cases, due to complications or major surgery, the period of sick leave may be longer.

Throughout the entire rehabilitation period, it is recommended to move as much as possible, starting with slow walking. This is necessary to renew and intensify normal work intestines, other organs (in particular the ovaries). Already 5-7 days after laparoscopy, if the patient’s general health is good, the sutures are removed and the woman is discharged from the hospital.

How to open a sick leave?

So, how to open a sick leave, how long is it valid for and is it possible to extend it? During the patient's stay in the hospital, he is issued a certificate of incapacity for work, which is covered by the date of discharge from the hospital.

Also, if necessary, sick leave can be extended by a maximum of 10 days, if there are no complications or problems with recovery.

If complications arise and the patient is sent to a sanatorium for recovery, then in such a situation the maximum sick leave is 24 days. The patient must appear in person to renew the ballot.

If the required day is missed, the doctor indicates the reason from the patient. Sometimes, if the patient is unable to come, the procedure can be performed at home.

Let's consider the duration of sick leave for some surgical interventions:

removal of the uterus – 20-40 days;
inguinal hernia may be 1 year old;
fallopian tube no more than 40 days;
thyroid up to 120 days;
urea for a maximum of 40 days;
cysts from 7 to 10 days.

Here we looked at how long sick leave is given after laparoscopic operations. It all depends on the general condition of the body, how quickly the patient recovers and whether there are complications. Also, sick leave can be extended if necessary.

It is important to follow all the recommendations of your doctor during the recovery period; you need to take care and eat right. Diet food– the key to any recovery after surgery. After a month, you can return to your normal diet.
