The autonomic nervous system is central to recovery after surgery. Sympathetic activity mediates acute surgical stress, while parasympathetic vagal activity supports restoration and homeostasis. Autonomic regulation contributes to haemodynamic stability, gastrointestinal motility, immune regulation, and wound healing. Balanced sympathetic activation and parasympathetic recovery is presented as a plausible pathway linking autonomic function to postoperative outcomes.
