How long does it take for a stump fistula to heal after appendectomy?

Generally, after appendectomy, the appendiceal stump heals in 4 to 6 days after surgery, but the exact time varies from person to person. The appendiceal stump is a mucosal tissue, and for people who have had their appendix removed for various reasons, the stump recovers faster than the skin, and usually heals in 4 to 6 days after surgery. However, the healing time varies depending on the patient’s condition and physical fitness. For people with mild disease and good health, the stump will heal in 4 to 6 days after surgery, while for people with severe disease, poor health, and patients with chronic diseases, it will take a longer period of time. In addition, after the recovery of gastrointestinal function, it is recommended to eat more food rich in fiber and high quality protein, which is conducive to the recovery of the condition, and drink more water to soften the stools, which is conducive to the discharge of stools and promotes the healing of the condition. If you have any questions, please consult your doctor.
