Traditional appendectomy scar

Appendicitis can be divided into simple, suppurative, perforated and periappendiceal abscess according to the condition. Simple appendicitis is usually discharged one week after operation, and others should be discharged according to the degree of recovery and wound healing. Usually rest for about two weeks after discharge. The incision of simple appendicitis is about 2-3cm. But it is not absolute, depending on the position of the appendix and whether it is firmly attached to the surrounding groups. It is possible to prolong the incision during the operation. Generally, a vertical incision of13 between the right anterior superior iliac spine and umbilical cord is taken. However, severe appendicitis will also take the incision on the outer edge of rectus abdominis, and the length may be longer, at least 3cm or more. Scar depends on the length of the incision, as well as the patient's physical condition (whether it is scar constitution) and wound healing (whether it is infected or not, primary healing).
