Hello,
With the question “Appendicitis turned into appendicitis, does it need surgery again? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Acute appendicitis when it is discovered that emergency surgery is needed, some cases of appendicitis then turn into a mass of appendix. The doctor who treated the appendicitis once it is stable after 1 to 3 months will make an appointment for you to return for the appendectomy, you need to be monitored for the progress of the appendix mass while waiting for the surgery appointment.
After treating the appendix, the symptoms of abdominal pain will go away, the right abdominal inflammation will gradually dissolve. However, you should see your doctor and have your appendectomy by appointment.
At Vinmec hospital, surgeons still perform appendectomy by laparoscopic surgery after treating appendiceal masses. You will be re-doing some of the tests needed for the surgery, so when you go to the doctor, you should bring the tests you already have.
If you still have questions about appendicitis turning into appendicitis, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
