Appendectomy requires more than 1 week of rest before returning to normal work. Appendicitis is a common disease in general surgery. The common causes include appendiceal obstruction and infection, and the main clinical manifestations include metastatic right lower abdominal pain, abdominal distention, fever and nausea. Usually this disease is prone to recurrence after conservative treatment, so appendicitis is mostly treated surgically. Surgical methods include traditional open surgery and minimally invasive surgical treatment. Traditional surgery can be discharged in about 5 days after treatment, while minimally invasive surgery is less invasive and has a faster recovery, with a hospital stay of 2-3 days. It is generally recommended to rest for at least 1 week after discharge before resuming normal work. In case of combined appendiceal perforation, periappendiceal abscess, etc., the hospital stay can be extended accordingly. In case of heavy work, the time of going to work should be delayed appropriately. In addition, appendix patients should be given a light and easy-to-digest diet after discharge, pay attention to keeping warm, avoid strenuous exercise, and avoid premature participation in heavy physical work.
