how soon after surgery can you have surgery again?

Question

surgery recovery time

This is in reference to minor back surgery to remove a tumor. I had surgery, then was told that I needed to have another surgery to remove more tumor cells. I was told that it was better to have another surgery sooner than later and personally I still feel sore from the first surgery. What do you think?

Answer 1

Ideally a few months break, but the body can tolerate it more often (if in emergency circumstances)

Answer 2

That all depends on the type of surgery, how your body handled the first surgery, the reason for additional surgeries, and many other things. I had two neck surgeries within a year of eachother, the doc had concerns being they were close together. My brother on the other hand, was in a motorcycle accident and had five surgeries within a month of each other, the last one he could not have anesthisia, they simply numbed him from the waist down, while they chipped bone from his hips and used a power saw on his leg, he said he would never want to view his surgery again, it was very stressful, he said.

Answer 3

it verys because it depands on how stable you are after the surgery. when I had back surgery I had one April 7 the next on April 14. but this was also 14yrs ago.
