Can’t you walk after an appendectomy?

After appendectomy, bed rest is usually required for 6 to 12 hours, at which time walking is allowed. At present, the most common type of appendectomy is laparoscopic appendectomy, which has the least impact on the patient, and the patient only has three one-centimeter incisions in the abdominal wall, and the postoperative recovery is fast. Post-operative patients generally need to stay in bed for 6 to 12 hours, and then have to get out of bed early to promote blood circulation and bowel movements to accelerate healing. If the postoperative bedtime is too long, patients are prone to postoperative adhesive bowel obstruction. Postoperative patients are also generally required to fasting water until the patient appeared to exhaust, otherwise it is also easy to lead to intestinal obstruction. Postoperative feeding needs to be gradually transitioned from liquid food to normal diet.
