An article on Spine Universe entitled “Post-Operative Care: Activity, Incision Care, Rehab and Recovery,” discusses the importance of planning on post-operative care, prior to spine surgery. This article outlines the expectations immediately following spine surgery, and answers frequently asked questions by the patient and the family; i.e. recovery room, anesthesia and waking up and pain management.
Part two of this article addresses other key post-operative spine surgical care issues such as physical therapy and rehab, surgical incisions and hospital discharge.
This article was reviewed by Indiana Spine Group spine surgeon, Rick Sasso, MD. Dr. Sasso thought that this was a good resource for patients that are scheduled for spine surgery and that it is important for patients to be aware of the routine post-operative steps following spine surgery.
