After appendicitis surgery, patients need at least two weeks of rest because they are generally weak and unable to work or perform physical labor. It is important to intensify care, especially in protecting the surgical incision, with regular dressing changes until the sutures are removed and no further dressing changes are needed. Dietary management should be improved by consuming more vegetables and fruits to ensure smooth bowel movements. Currently, laparoscopic appendectomy is a common method for appendicitis surgery, as it involves less bleeding during the operation and faster recovery, allowing most patients to be discharged three days after the surgery.
