A member asked:
Please tell me how long it takes for to recovery from an appendix removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
10-28 days: If uncomplicated, and performed laparoscopically, then the patient should be good to go in about 10 days. If an open procedure was performed, then the recovery will be about 4 weeks. But, every surgeon has their own absolute restrictions, so make sure to clarify this. Good luck.
