The principle of treatment for acute appendicitis primarily involves surgery. For mild cases or those who cannot tolerate surgery, conservative treatment with medication is also an option. Currently, the choice of surgical method mainly involves laparoscopic appendectomy, which requires general anesthesia. Alternatively, appendectomy can be performed under spinal anesthesia through an incision at McBurney's point. Postoperatively, a pathological examination should be conducted depending on the situation. If there is significant suppuration, anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered post-surgery, with a hospital stay of about three to five days.
