Introduction
If a patient has undergone brain tumor surgery, and the condition is not severe, physical health is good, and postoperative care is adequate, the recovery will likely be favorable, with no impact on future work as a welder. However, if the patient's condition is serious, or if physical health is poor and postoperative care is inadequate, resulting in poor recovery, it may affect their ability to work as a welder in the future.
After brain tumor surgery, if the patient recovers well, it will not affect their ability to work as a welder in the future; however, if the recovery is poor, it may have some impact on future welding work.
Brain tumors include both primary brain tumors and brain metastases. The optimal treatment is complete surgical removal. However, extensive and complete resection is often difficult due to the inability to remove normal brain tissue and the infiltrative growth pattern of malignant tumors within the skull. Generally, after brain tumor surgery, if the patient's condition is not severe, physical health is good, and postoperative care is adequate, recovery tends to be favorable and will not interfere with future welding work. Conversely, if the patient's condition is severe or their physical health and postoperative care are poor, resulting in inadequate recovery, it may negatively affect their ability to perform welding work later on.
Patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods such as hot pot and spicy hot pot dishes, consume more foods rich in vitamins—such as oranges and apples—and schedule regular follow-up visits at the hospital.
