Advising patients when to drive after surgery is a common practice which gynaecologists need to do on a regular basis as a part of their duty to patients. We carried out a literature search regarding advice given on driving after gynaecological surgical procedures, and found no study or research on this area. We then carried out a questionnaire survey of 99 gynaecologists in Northern Ireland. We have identified wide variation in clinical practice, and advocate a United Kingdom wide survey and further studies to find out optimum time to drive after different gynaecological surgeries. There is a need for national guidelines on driving after surgery, which would be of great benefit to gynaecologists, patients, motor insurers, police and all other interested parties.
告知患者术后何时可以开车是一种常见做法,作为对患者责任的一部分,妇科医生需要定期这样做。我们针对妇科手术后关于开车的建议进行了文献检索,发现该领域没有相关研究。然后我们对北爱尔兰的99名妇科医生进行了问卷调查。我们发现临床实践存在很大差异,主张在全英国范围内进行调查并开展进一步研究,以找出不同妇科手术后开车的最佳时间。有必要制定关于术后开车的国家指南,这将对妇科医生、患者、汽车保险公司、警方及所有其他相关方大有裨益。
