Is the risk of appendicitis perforation surgery high in the elderly?

Appendicitis surgery is certainly risky. Now that it has been perforated, there is a great possibility of postoperative infection. In addition, the patient is older and may have other basic diseases. Therefore, cardiopulmonary examination is needed before operation, and wound healing is slow after operation, which is prone to wound nonunion. However, since the perforation of the appendix has occurred, surgery is necessary, because it will endanger life without surgery.
