How long does it take to recover from appendectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you had a laparoscopic surgery for your appendectomy and your appendix was not ruptured with abscess, you will recover quickly (5-8 days). Larger inciisions, and more advanced disease of the appendix could lay you up for 1-2 wks.
