What are the complications after appendectomy?

  Postoperative complications are closely related to the pathological type of the appendix and the lateness of the operation time. After resection of unperforated appendicitis, the complication rate is only 5%, while the rate increases to more than 30% for those operated after perforation, and the rate of appendiceal perforation is 20% and 70% for those operated after 24 hours and 48 hours after the onset, respectively.
