How long does it take for a minimally invasive surgical scar from appendicitis surgery to heal?

The recovery time for scars from minimally invasive appendectomy depends on the complexity of the surgery, the patient's health condition, and postoperative care. Generally, scar recovery after minimally invasive surgery can take several weeks to a few months. After surgery, appropriate care measures should be taken to reduce scar recovery time. Patients should avoid trauma, limit sun exposure, and regularly use anti-inflammatory medications. In addition, routine scar care is recommended, including cleaning the scar, applying anti-inflammatory creams, and consistently using prescribed anti-inflammatory ointments. The patient’s overall health affects scar healing—better health typically leads to faster recovery. Surgical complexity also influences healing time; more complex procedures generally require longer recovery periods.
