Pre- and post-operative care is crucial for a wide range of surgeries, especially those that significantly impact mobility, function, or general health. Some types of surgeries that commonly require such care are:

Orthopedic Surgeries

• Joint Replacement (e.g., Hip, Knee, Shoulder): Rehab helps strengthen muscles around the joint before surgery and assists in regaining mobility and function post-surgery.

• Spinal Surgery (e.g., Fusion, Discectomy): Pre-operative care focuses on core strength and flexibility, while post-op rehab aids in pain management and restoring movement.

• Arthroscopy (e.g., Knee, Shoulder, Ankle): Both pre- and post-operative care can help improve recovery by maintaining strength and mobility around the joint.

Cardiovascular Surgeries

• Heart Bypass Surgery: Pre-op care may involve improving cardiovascular fitness, while post-op rehab is essential for rebuilding strength, endurance, and ensuring a healthy recovery.

• Valve Replacement or Repair: Similar to bypass surgery, rehabilitation helps the patient gradually return to normal activities and improve overall heart health.

Abdominal Surgeries

• Hernia Repair: Pre-op exercises can strengthen the abdominal muscles, and post-op care is focused on pain management, preventing complications, and gradually returning to activity.

• Bariatric Surgery: Pre-op care may include weight management and fitness, while post-op rehab supports weight loss goals, mobility, and lifestyle adjustments.

Neurological Surgeries

• Brain or Spine Tumor Removal: Rehab helps patients regain motor skills, strength, and coordination affected by surgery.

• Stroke-Related Surgeries: Pre-operative care may focus on improving overall fitness, while post-op rehab is critical for regaining function and independence.

Oncological Surgeries

• Breast Cancer Surgery (e.g., Mastectomy, Lumpectomy): Pre-op care can involve maintaining upper body strength, and post-op rehab focuses on mobility, reducing scar tissue, and managing lymphedema.

• Prostate Surgery: Pre- and post-op rehab can help with pelvic floor strengthening and managing side effects like incontinence.

Gastrointestinal Surgeries

• Colorectal Surgery: Rehab can improve recovery by enhancing mobility, managing pain, and preventing complications like adhesions or bowel obstruction.

Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgeries

• Reconstructive Surgery (e.g., after trauma or cancer): Rehab helps restore function and appearance, focusing on scar management and muscle strengthening.

• Cosmetic Surgery (e.g., Abdominoplasty, Liposuction): Post-op care aids in recovery, reducing swelling, and ensuring optimal results.
