surgical ward

Post-operation recovery area

A surgical ward is a section of a hospital where patients recover after operations.

Patients typically stay there for monitoring and postoperative care until they're stable enough to go home or transfer elsewhere: She spent three days in the surgical ward after her knee replacement.
