How many hours after appendicitis can you drink water

Patients after appendicitis surgery are usually able to drink water about six hours after surgery. Patients undergoing appendicitis surgery with semi-body anesthesia or general anesthesia can drink water six hours after semi-body anesthesia, while patients under general anesthesia can drink water after they wake up. In the past, the theory was that patients should drink water after appendicitis surgery after having anal discharge, but due to the development of the concept of rapid recovery, patients who are satisfied with the treatment of the appendix root at the time of surgery can start eating, including drinking water, early after surgery. Therefore, the decision should also be made in relation to the condition of the patient at the time of surgery and the inflammation of the appendix, or whether complications have arisen after surgery.
