Brazino:
What's the rationale Behind our doctors telling patients not to eat for a few days after a surgery is been carried out on them?
If doctors in other parts of the World like In Europe, don't tell their patients so, then why is Nigeria's different?
Could it be due to Technology?

Technology indeed.

One of the reasons is that most of the surgery we perform is invasive (cut and open) and that disturbs bowels.
Most surgery performed abroad is non-invasive and one can easily eat afterwards.

Surgery is like fresh wound needing healing asap. Eating may prolong the healing

This should be logical now.

Several factors come to place here e.g the type of foods, quality of the procedures used for the surgery, etc.

They dont tell you not to eat but,however, advise you on food you should eat and those you shouldn`t after surgery.mek una no dey over hype dis aborad things.

Depends on what surgery was for and they way it was performed.

Nigerians are one of the loudest yet ignorant folks on the face of the earth .
Especially those clowns who luckily found themselves in first world countries.

Who told the clown every patient can eat immediately after surgery in Canada or anywhere for that matter and that patients cannot eat immediately after surgery here in Nigeria .

- There are various factors that determine whether a patient can eat immediately after surgery or not .

- E.g A patient cannot eat immediately after surgery anywhere in the world after some major surgeries involving extensive bowel resection .


Here in Nigeria too, we feed patients few hours after thyroid surgery or key hole procedures such as removal of the gall bladder .

- If you operated on the leg or hand eg fixation of a fracture . Patients eat immediately they recover from Anaesthesia

So eating or not eating after surgeries depend on plenty factors.

In a bid to run down Nigerian Doctors, the lousy clown has only exposed his own ignorance

You've said it all, maybe after a hemicolectomy him go cho fufu because na Canada him dey.

Our digestive system slows down during and after surgery due to the type of surgery, anesthesia used and medications patient is placed on.
It's not a Nigerian thing but a universal process.
A lot of people think Nigerian doctors are not properly trained.
I practice medicine in canada.
The op is a clown.
Hahaha

DUTY:
quack practitioners and annoying prescriptions

If you had attended even primary school, you would have considered things that could influence such decisions, like the nature of the surgery, patient's pre-surgery condition, presence/absence of complications during and after the surgery, nature of food in both countries, age of patients, etc before rushing to post rubbish.

I'm very sure you don't even know the meaning of "quack"

Do you have a link/reference for this? I would like to read and find out more

yh you can ask Google why patients are place on nil per oral before surgeries.

I won't give you reference, you don't deserve one at all. I've seen your posts, you are not open minded. If you can't research before coming here to drop myths and propaganda, I can do little to even show you the light abi truth.
The knowledge of medicine that Nigerian doctors practise is standard. Our problem is the system of health is broken due to gross mismanagement by government.

You are supposedly a man of science. Possibly a Doctor. I ask for a reference. It's called evidence-based medicine. Instead of providing the reference, you go on a tangent. Provide a reference and let me enlighten myself. Grew up with multiple surgeons and never heard any of them say do not eat so that food doesn't enter your respiratory system pre-surgery. Multiple mesh repair hernioraphies (let's forget about CS and myomectomies). And not once did I hear any of them say it was to prevent food getting into the respiratory system. Due to absence of peristalsis, I get that. But not because food should not move from your tummy to your respiratory system. And stop the "victimisation" talk about Nigerian medics. I've been in physical fights when patients families came to attack my GS Dad for "killing" their "person". I know what the Nigerian doctor goes through. Heck I was ready to undergo a limb shortening osteotomy in Nigeria until scannogram indicated otherwise. I'm first to scream when our elites jump on a jet for a basic surgical procedure.

Edit: I've seen the evidence I need.
