The best time to review appendicitis after surgery is about one month after discharge from the hospital, or three to six months after surgery, as prescribed by the attending physician.
Appendicitis occurs when the lumen of the appendix is blocked or the blood supply to the appendix is insufficient, leading to necrosis of the appendix and then inflammation caused by bacterial infection.
After the diagnosis of appendicitis is clear, if it is acute simple appendicitis, it is recommended to complete the appendectomy through laparoscopy, after the operation, it is advocated to get out of bed at an early stage, in order to effectively promote intestinal peristalsis, to prevent intestinal adhesions and intestinal obstruction occurs. Surgery is also needed if the appendix has become septic or perforated.
After appendicitis surgery, intravenous ceftriaxone sodium, levofloxacin, ornidazole and other anti-infective treatment is needed, and the drugs should be applied under the guidance of the doctor.
About one month after the operation, it is recommended to review the patient’s condition, taking into account the patient’s medical history, routine blood tests, abdominal ultrasound or abdominal CT and other tests, to make a comprehensive judgment on the patient’s condition.
