A member asked:
What is the recovery time following laparoscopic appendectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-3days: It is dependent on the amount of inflammation at time of surgery; also on the person and what you call recovery. I have had patients who have gone back to work within 3 days and some not for 3 weeks.
