Post operative care doesn’t end when a patient leaves the hospital. In fact, the recovery phase often requires more attention than the surgery itself. The duration of post operative care depends on several factors such as the type of surgery, age of the patient, existing medical conditions, and overall physical strength.

This can include regular dressing changes, medication management, physical therapy, dietary guidance, and mobility assistance. For elderly patients, post operative care becomes even more important because recovery may be slower and complications can arise unexpectedly.
