Appendicitis surgery, how many days to discharge?
This is directly related to the surgical method. If it is a laparoscopic appendectomy, this is a minimally invasive treatment, and recovery is quick; patients generally can be discharged from the hospital three days post-surgery, and sutures can be removed at a scheduled follow-up visit. If it is the traditional surgery method through McBurney's point incision, this method also allows for quick recovery, and patients can be discharged after the sutures are removed.
Additionally, this also relates to the patient's physique and the severity of their condition. For elderly patients, the hospital stay may be extended. If the appendix has a clear perforation or causes diffuse peritonitis, the use of antibiotics must be intensified post-surgery, hence extending the treatment period.
