Acute appendicitis, if managed surgically, generally allows patients to be discharged 3 to 5 days post-operation. However, there are special circumstances, such as slow wound healing, wound suppuration, and severe acute appendicitis with purulent perforation, where some inflammation of the peritoneum still exists. In these cases, it is necessary to extend the hospital stay for a few more days for appropriate anti-inflammatory and anti-infection treatment. Additionally, if laparoscopic appendectomy is chosen for acute appendicitis, the recovery from this surgical method is relatively quick, and most patients can be discharged after 3 days.
