Appendectomy requires surgery, so there will be scars afterward. The scars from minimally invasive surgery are relatively small, with only three incisions on the skin surface, and possibly leaving a suture line post-recovery. In contrast, the traditional surgical approach through McBurney's point results in a larger incision and consequently, a larger scar. It is recommended to use scar removal creams during the postoperative recovery period, as they can be somewhat effective. Additionally, it is important to rest after surgery, with at least two weeks of rest recommended, and to increase protein intake to aid in wound healing.
