Patients with appendicitis may experience diarrhea and abdominal pain, tenderness, and rebound pain due to spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, accompanied by vomiting and nausea. Those with severe systemic infections may also have a fever. Currently, appendicitis is primarily treated surgically, with options including the traditional McBurney's incision or laparoscopic appendectomy. In cases of appendiceal suppuration, postoperative antibiotic treatment against infection should be selected, using anti-anaerobic agents, and attention must be paid to postoperative diet, focusing on soft, easily digestible foods.
