how long do you stay in hospital after appendix removal
You will stay in the hospital 1 to 3 days after the operation. In most cases you should be able to go back to your normal daily activities in 1 to 3 weeks. If your appendix ruptured or an abscess formed, you will need to stay at the hospital longer and it will take more time to recover. If you have a drainage tube, it will be removed when the infection has cleared up.
