How long after appendectomy can I do heavy work?
Appendectomy is a common surgical procedure, indicated when the appendix becomes inflamed, causing severe abdominal pain along with other gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, and fatigue. When the inflamed appendix bursts, it can lead to generalized peritonitis, sepsis and life-threatening illness. It is possible to have open surgery or laparoscopic appendectomy and depending on the surgical method, the recovery time also varies.
