Once appendicitis is diagnosed, most cases require surgical treatment because the blood supply to the appendix is quite unique, with only the appendicular artery providing blood flow. If appendicitis occurs, it can easily lead to ischemic necrosis of the appendix, resulting in gangrenous appendicitis. Currently, laparoscopic appendectomy is a common surgical procedure, which is a minimally invasive treatment. For elderly or frail individuals who cannot tolerate surgery, conservative treatment is the only option. Postoperative care should be enhanced, with regular dressing changes at the incision site, and stitches can generally be removed one week after surgery. A semi-liquid diet is recommended for one to two days after surgery, and a regular diet can be resumed three to four days post-operation.
