How long will I need to stay in hospital?
This can vary quite a lot according to the type of operation needed and also from individual to individual. Most people stay in hospital for between one and two weeks, although you may be allowed to go home earlier and have any stitches or clips taken out at home or in an outpatients clinic. In general, hospital stays for elective (planned) surgery tend to be shorter than for emergency surgery, as people having emergency surgery are usually more unwell and may have a more complicated recovery.
