Appendicitis surgery can be discharged in a few days

The patient can be discharged from the hospital 7 days after appendicitis surgery, but the patient has to meet the criteria for discharge. First of all, the patient does not have fever, and the patient’s blood count is not high and the neutrophil count is normal. In addition, the patient has no abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. after eating, and the patient’s wound is well healed and the stitches have been removed. In addition, patients should pay attention to their own recuperation after discharge from the hospital, such as eating and living regularly, and eating small and frequent meals, and eating light and nutritious food. Patients should also pay attention to the protection of the wound, because the wound has just healed, if strenuous activity may lead to wound dehiscence. Patients should also pay attention to get out of bed more often, which will help the patient’s gastrointestinal tract function recovery, and the patient’s healing will be further reinforced.
