Why general anesthesia is required for appendicitis

Appendicitis surgery can be performed with general anesthesia or other methods of anesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition and the type of surgery. Currently, surgery is mostly minimally invasive, such as the choice of laparoscopic surgical treatment, which is less invasive but requires more anesthesia. Because of the need to establish a pneumoperitoneum during surgery, it must be performed under general anesthesia. The abdominal organs are innervated areas and are sensitive to pulling, and the observation and operation holes are selected separately during surgery. In appendicitis, the choice of laparoscopy is less traumatic, the surgical trauma is reduced, and the entire physiological composition of the abdominal cavity is affected, and the pneumoperitoneum is not satisfied by other anesthesia methods, so only general anesthesia can be chosen. Elderly patients and patients with other special diseases, such as combined spinal deformities, if you choose surgical treatment must be carried out under general anesthesia tracheal intubation, the surgical operation is more convenient. The effect of muscle relaxation under general anesthesia is better, which also shortens the operation time and reduces the occurrence of surgical complications.
