Abstract
Rehabilitation after plastic surgery in gynecology plays a key role in restoring patients’ physical and psychological condition as well as in achieving positive results of surgical intervention. An integrated approach to recovery aims to accelerate healing processes and includes physiotherapy, medication support, nutritional therapy, and therapeutic exercises. In addition, rehabilitation measures contribute to the normalization of pelvic organ functions, improve blood circulation, and reduce postoperative discomfort. Special attention is paid to the emotional state of the patients, which helps to improve their quality of life and ensure successful adaptation to the changes. Thus, properly organized rehabilitation is an important component of integrated treatment which helps to achieve full recovery of health and functionality. This paper presents general principles and rehabilitation methods used in plastic surgery in gynecology at different stages of care.
