Postoperative Care for Ureteral Stone Surgery
Disease description:
I have ureteral stones and recently underwent surgery. Could you please tell me about the postoperative care for ureteral stone surgery?

After surgery for ureteral stones, nursing care is crucial. Patients should ensure adequate rest and avoid strenuous activities to prevent wound dehiscence or bleeding. Additionally, the diet should be light and easily digestible, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to reduce gastrointestinal burden. Keep the surgical site clean and dry, and change dressings regularly to prevent infection. Monitor the color, volume, and characteristics of the urine, and promptly inform the doctor of any abnormalities. Furthermore, take medications as prescribed and attend follow-up appointments regularly to ensure complete removal of the stones and prevent recurrence. Comprehensive and meticulous care helps promote rapid recovery and restoration of health.
