Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Rest for 2 to 3 weeks is generally required. Since the surgical trauma is minimal, recovery tends to be relatively quick. However, recovery speed may vary among individuals. Patients are advised to strictly control their diet during the recovery period, focusing on easily digestible foods. Progress gradually from residue-free liquid diet to full liquid, then semi-solid foods, and finally resume a regular diet. Avoid greasy and spicy foods.
