Procedures & Surgeryशल्यक्रिया तथा प्रक्रियाहरू
These guides explain, in plain language, ten operations and procedures that hospitals in Nepal perform every day: what the procedure is, when doctors consider it, how it is done, how long you may stay in hospital, how recovery usually goes, the warning signs to watch for, and the risks to discuss with your doctor. They are general information, not medical advice — your own doctor's advice always comes first.
यी गाइडहरूले नेपालका अस्पतालहरूमा दैनिक हुने दस शल्यक्रिया तथा प्रक्रियाहरू सजिलो भाषामा बुझाउँछन्: प्रक्रिया के हो, डाक्टरले कहिले यो सिफारिस गर्छन्, कसरी गरिन्छ, अस्पतालमा कति दिन बस्नुपर्न सक्छ, निको हुन सामान्यतया कस्तो हुन्छ, कुन खतराका संकेतमा ध्यान दिने, र डाक्टरसँग छलफल गर्नुपर्ने जोखिमहरू। यो सामान्य जानकारी हो, चिकित्सकीय सल्लाह होइन — आफ्नो डाक्टरको सल्लाह नै सधैं पहिलो हुन्छ।
