How to do incision infection after appendectomy

summary

I got appendicitis last year, mainly because of abdominal pain. Later, I went to the hospital for appendectomy surgery, but with incision infection, I'd like to introduce to you how to deal with incision infection after strict appendectomy?

How to do incision infection after appendectomy

First, appendectomy for the treatment of acute appendicitis. In general, the operation is easy, but sometimes it is difficult, such as ectopic appendix. Therefore, appendicitis should never be considered as a "minor disease" and appendectomy as a "minor operation". We must pay attention to it in order to improve the therapeutic effect, avoid or reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications and sequelae.

Secondly, acute appendicitis is a common disease in surgery. Appendectomy is one of the most common and common operations, but sometimes it is very difficult. Therefore, every operation should be taken seriously. Acute appendicitis is the most common acute abdomen in children. Due to the thin appendiceal wall and high perforation rate in children, the limited ability of abdominal cavity to infection is poor, once perforation often causes diffuse peritonitis; at the same time, children often fail to be treated early due to delayed diagnosis, so the clinical condition of appendicitis in children is serious.

Finally, 3-4 days after the operation, the body temperature rises, the incision is swollen and painful, and the incision may be infected or suppurated. If the abdominal wall is red and swollen, and the tenderness is obvious, 1-2 stitches of suture should be removed, the incision should be expanded, the knots should be removed, and the drainage should be sufficient. Some weak patients may have incision dehiscence after operation, so it is necessary to re suture and add or subtract tension suture. The sinus should be resected for a long time.

matters needing attention

Attention should be paid to nursing after appendectomy. Generally, you need to get out of bed for activities on the first day after appendectomy. You can start drinking liquid after 6 hours, but not too much. The next day you can eat semi liquid food, such as noodles, wonton, porridge and so on.
