Non Surgical Appendix
Non-Surgical Treatment for Appendicitis
- Antibiotic Therapy: May treat mild, uncomplicated cases but carries a risk of recurrence.
- Abscess Drainage: Performed if an abscess forms before scheduling surgery.
Surgical Options: Appendectomy
- 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.
Recovery from Appendectomy Surgery
- 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 and Post-Appendectomy Care
- 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.
