In clinical practice, the typical symptom of chronic appendicitis in the elderly is that the patient will experience recurrent right lower abdominal pain, and the duration of the pain will not be fixed. It should be noted that some elderly patients may even have symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and fever, which should be taken seriously enough, because chronic appendicitis can seriously affect the daily life of patients, so once the elderly have chronic appendicitis, it is recommended to undergo surgical removal in a timely manner. At present, in clinical practice, laparoscopic appendectomy is usually chosen for chronic appendicitis in the elderly. Generally speaking, it is less traumatic for the patient, and, after the operation, the patient’s recovery is particularly fast and the hospital stay is particularly short. Therefore, it has become the main surgical option for the treatment of chronic appendicitis. It should be noted that in elderly patients with chronic appendicitis, it is important to get out of bed early after surgery so as to promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function. Moreover, the surgical incision of chronic appendicitis in the elderly must be changed regularly so as to promote the healing of the patient’s surgical incision and benefit the patient’s health.
