Most rites of passage are religious ceremonies. They not only mark the transition between an individual's life stages but they reinforce the dominant religious views and values of a culture. In other words, they reinforce the world-view. Marriage is an important rite of passage in all cultures.
After the Procedure. How long you stay in the hospital depends on the procedure. The average stay for open abdominal procedures is 5 to 8 days. You will go home sooner if you had laparoscopic surgery. The average stay for perineal surgery is 2 to 3 days.
After mastectomy surgery. Youâll be moved to the recovery room after mastectomy surgery, where staff will monitor your heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. If you are in pain or feel nauseous from the anesthesia, let someone know so that you can be given medication. Youâll then be admitted to a hospital room. Hospital stays for mastectomy average 3 days or less. If you have a mastectomy and reconstruction at the same time, you may be in the hospital a little longer.
