Post-surgery, otherwise known post-operative care, is the follow-up treatment or care done on patients once they have undergone surgery. This is the period where patients are attended to from medication, cleaning and nutrition in hospital and is assigned ongoing assistance by a professional nurse or home-based carer at home.

For some, post-operative care only lasts until health specialists have approved of their ability to resume normal activities without professional supervision. For elderly or those with a physical disability, routine home-based care is an ongoing process.

According to the website Home Helpers, post-operative care often follows a strict set of procedures/regimes set for a patient by their doctor. A certified nursing assistant or home health aide is often assigned to look after the patient in the absence of the doctor once they are home bound.

According to Guardian Carers, the most common procedures undertaken by these health professionals to their patients include:

1. Prescribed medication

2. Checking that your vitals are functioning normally

3. Cleaning process, whether it be the patient or their immediate surroundings

4. Feeding nutritional meals and drinks which complies to the health guidelines set by their assigned doctor

5. Be the middleman for matters involving doctors, family members and friends

6. Sorting out personal care and hygiene of patients

7. Re-dressing and cleaning wounds.
