Risks and recovery

Like any surgery, appendix surgery has risks: infection, abscess, bleeding and, rarely, conversion to open surgery. They are uncommon and are reduced with proper evaluation, careful technique and follow-up. The surgeon explains them during the consultation.

Recovery from appendix surgery is gradual: discharge in 1–2 days; light activities in 1–2 weeks. Timelines vary from patient to patient and according to medical judgment.
