After appendectomy surgery, patients generally need to stay in the hospital for observation for three to five days. If there is no suppuration or infection at the wound, patients can choose to be discharged according to their own wishes. However, if the initial symptoms of appendicitis are severe, or if there is suppuration or perforation, it is advisable to stay in the hospital for additional observation until the abdominal pain subsides before considering discharge. Additionally, elderly individuals or children who are physically weaker should also stay in the hospital for longer observation, as this can aid in recovery.
