summary

I got appendicitis, and the pain was very severe every time I had an attack. Later, I went to the hospital to have an appendectomy. After the operation, it was very successful, and there was no special discomfort, but later it seemed to feel painful. Let's talk about the complications after appendectomy.

What are the complications after appendectomy

First: adhesive intestinal obstruction: it is also a common complication after appendectomy, which is related to severe local inflammation, surgical injury, incision foreign body, postoperative bed rest and other reasons. Once acute appendicitis is diagnosed, early operation should be performed. Early ambulation after operation can prevent this complication.

Second, the ligation line of appendix mesentery is loose, which causes mesenteric vascular bleeding. The symptoms were abdominal pain, abdominal distension and hemorrhagic shock. The key lies in prevention. The mesenteric ligation of the appendix is accurate. The patients with mesenteric hypertrophy should be ligated separately. The ligation line should be a certain distance from the cut edge of the mesenteric. The mesenteric ligation line should be cut off in time, and should not be pulled again to avoid loosening.

Third: incision infection: is the most common postoperative complications. It is more common in suppurative or perforated acute appendicitis. In recent years, due to the improvement of surgical techniques and the application of effective antibiotics, this complication has been rare. The incision infection can be prevented by strengthening the incision protection, washing the incision, stopping bleeding thoroughly and eliminating the dead space.
