How many days after minimally invasive appendectomy can a patient be discharged?
In most cases, patients can be discharged 3–5 days after minimally invasive appendectomy. If any discomfort or symptoms arise, prompt medical attention is recommended. While recovering at home after discharge, avoid excessive bending or straining. Gradually resume eating soft, bland, and easily digestible foods; temporarily avoid spicy, raw, cold, or greasy foods. Gently clean the skin surrounding the incision daily, and refrain from lifting heavy objects for a short period.
