AV Fistula (Arteriovenous Fistula)

Antibiotic Therapy: May treat mild, uncomplicated cases but carries a risk of recurrence.
Abscess Drainage: Performed if an abscess forms before scheduling surgery.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy: Minimally invasive with smaller scars and quicker recovery.
Open Appendectomy: Larger incision, often used for ruptured appendix or significant infection.
Risks: Infection, bleeding, or complications from anesthesia, though minimal.

Hospital Stay: 1-2 days for laparoscopic surgery, longer if complications arise.
Pain Management: Managed with over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers.
Incision Care: Keep clean and dry, follow instructions for dressing changes.
Physical Activity: Avoid strenuous activities for 2-4 weeks.
Diet: Resume normal diet soon after, with adjustments if rupture occurred.
Full Recovery: Typically 4-6 weeks for laparoscopic, slightly longer for open surgery.

Prevention: No known prevention methods, but a high-fiber diet may reduce risks.
Post-Appendectomy Care:
- Scar management and monitoring for infection.
- Gradual return to activity.
- Maintaining a balanced diet and hydration.
- Follow-up with the doctor for recovery monitoring.
