How many days has gallstone been hospitalized?

How many days you need to stay in hospital after cholelithiasis surgery depends on the operation method and postoperative recovery. If you choose minimally invasive surgery, you can recover quickly and be discharged in 1-2 days. If you choose open surgery, you can leave the hospital in 4-5 days.

If patients with gallstones undergo laparoscopic minimally invasive cholecystectomy, the incision is small, the postoperative recovery is fast and smooth, and they can be discharged in 1-2 days. However, if open cholecystectomy, the incision is relatively large, and the hospitalization time will be prolonged, depending on the patient's recovery and the healing of the incision. Generally, you can be discharged after 4-5 days in hospital. However, if there is poor wound healing, fever, cough, turbid drainage tube, etc. We should extend the hospitalization time accordingly, further observe the treatment and see the treatment of complications. If the treatment recovers quickly, the corresponding hospitalization time will be shorter. If the corresponding treatment can't achieve satisfactory results, it is possible to further adopt other treatment schemes, and the hospitalization time may be longer.

Be careful not to get wet during wound healing, especially not to take a bath to avoid further infection of the wound. Do not exercise vigorously, drink alcohol or cough violently, because the incision is not completely healed at this time, and the wound may be split by external force, which further requires secondary surgical suture.
