After appendicitis surgery, the abdominal drainage tube can be removed in 3~4 days after surgery, which varies from person to person.
There are strict indications for removing the drain after appendicitis surgery, such as the color of the drainage fluid is clear and less than 10 ml in one day, and there are no clinical symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, fever, and so on, then the abdominal drain can be removed. The abdominal drain is usually removed 3-4 days after the operation.
Moreover, before removing the abdominal drainage tube, we must communicate with the patient fully, so that the patient can better cooperate with the treatment; moreover, when removing the abdominal drainage tube, the action must be gentle and quick to reduce the pain.
After removing the abdominal drainage tube, the mouth of the drainage tube should be carefully sterilized, covered with gauze, bandaged, and regularly changed. Patients with appendicitis can recover successfully after active treatment.
