Yes: Still, in most cases you will go home same day, be in pain the first week, sore the second and then return to activities the 3rd or 4th week.  Depends on how u deal with pain.

Question 2

what is the recommended recovery time for  laparoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Laps recovery: It varies with what's done laparoscopically, but not long.  I allow patients after pelvic/reproductive surgeries to return to work in 2-3 days if their jobs aren't physically demanding. Most patients feel pretty decent in a few days, although minor aches and pains may continue.  Most surgeons are fairly opinionated, and yours may have a different routine.

Question 4

i am 21 years old and in 6 weeks will be having laparoscopy hysteroscopy salpingectomy and d&c, how long will the recovery time be ?

Accepted Answer

Outpatient surgery: With a simple laparoscopy / hysteroscopy procedure, the procedure is usually performed as an outpatient procedure.  If all goes well, you could be back to work in a few days.  For example, if you had the surgery on a friday, you should be okay to return on monday.  This should be discussed with your doctor at your preoperative visit.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

2 weeks: Usually almost full recovery in 2 weeks. Some people feel great after 5 days. Kind of unpredictable. But most activities can be resumed after about 7-10 days.

Question 6

what kind of recovery time can a patient expect from any laparoscopic surgery? is the recovery time the same for laparoscopic surgery no matter where it's performed on the body?

Accepted Answer

Recovery : Recovery time varies widely from patient to patient, surgery to surgery.  In general, recovery time after laparoscopic surgery is shorter than for the correspnding open surgery.  Studies have shown fewer infections, less pain, and a shorter return to work and usual activities.  The specific time to recovery depends on the type of procedure being performed; for example, most people feel well within about two weeks after uncomplicated laparoscopic gallbladder removal, but a laparoscopic colon resection may take four or six weeks to reach the same level of recovery.

Question 8

hi , i'm scheduled for laparoscopic surgery to remove a 10 cm ovarian cyst (with overnight stay) , i was wondering what would be my recovery time ?

Accepted Answer

2-4 weeks: Depending on your present state of health, weight, activity, fitness!

Question 9

i have a laparoscopic surgery to have my uterus detached from the fascia from previous c-section. what is the average recovery time on this procedure?

Accepted Answer

Very quickly: If all the physician is doing is taking down scar tissue (which is what it sounds like) then you will have a few small (1cm) incisions which will heal very quickly.  I'm guessing you'll be up doing your normal activities of life within a day or so, and you'll be pain free after 2-3 weeks. Every woman is different, but this is a minimally invasive surgery. Good luck!

Question 10

how long is recovery from pelvic laparoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Short time: Advantage of laparoscopic surgery to open surgery, besides not having a long scar is early recovery , most of them recover in a day or so, if extensive pelvic dissection is done may take another day or two.
