For the treatment of appendicitis, generally once diagnosed, surgery is required. Removing the appendix through surgery is the only effective way to prevent the recurrence of appendicitis. Currently, the surgical method most commonly chosen involves removing the appendix via the abdominal cavity, which is also a minimally invasive method. If the patient is older or frail and cannot tolerate general anesthesia, spinal anesthesia can be used to remove the appendix through an incision at McBurney's point. Post-surgery, it is important to change dressings regularly and start a semi-liquid diet after the first passage of gas, gradually transitioning back to a normal diet.
