Hospital after appendicitis

The prognosis for recovery after appendectomy and recovery of the body is favorable. On the second day the patient is allowed to roll over in bed and even sit down. Approximately on the third day is allowed to get out of bed and walk.

In this regard, many patients have a question about how many days the hospital after appendicitis and when you can return to the usual rhythm of life. The appendix is ​​inflamed due to its obstruction. Clog the lumen can stool, parasites, neoplasms, lymphoid tissue.

This leads to the accumulation of mucus, which creates favorable conditions for the development of pathogenic microflora. The inflammatory process leads to pain in the right lower side, diarrhea, nausea and even vomiting.

Over the next few weeks after the operation to remove the appendix, you should adhere to a gentle diet, diet and control physical activity. If you ignore medical recommendations, you can face unpleasant complications, among which you can identify inguinal hernia and adhesions.

The average stay of a patient after an operation is ten days. The main task of doctors when discharging a patient after appendectomy is to make sure that the patient's health is not threatened and he will be able to return to professional activity.

The length of the sick leave sheet is directly related to the peculiarity of the operation. Also, the ability of the body to recover is important. In some cases, the hospital after the operation may last, but for this purpose the law provides for regulations. Consider useful recommendations for obtaining a sheet of incapacity for work.

What affects the duration of the hospital?

The minimum duration of a sick leave is three days, and the maximum duration is thirty days. To increase the length of stay in the hospital, a medical commission is convened. In some cases, if the patient's condition is unsatisfactory, the sick leave sheet can be extended even up to a year.

But such serious complications for appendicitis are not characteristic. Appendectomy is a fairly easy surgical intervention, the recovery period of which on average is fourteen days.

The employer has no right to refuse to pay a sick leave, to fire an employee or to check the validity of the issue of the

disability sheet. In appendicitis, a laparotomy can be performed - a cavity operation, the essence of which is the dissection of soft tissues located directly above the process. Still, a more preferred method of resection of the process is laparoscopy.

The essence of the procedure is that small punctures are made around the navel and appendix. Laparoscopy is less traumatic, which affects the duration of the rehabilitation period and the risks of complications.

With classical surgery to remove the appendix, a small seam remains - about three centimeters. In the absence of complications, the sutures are removed on the tenth-twelfth day after the operation. Internal seams dissolve within two months.

For two to three months after appendectomy, dietary rules should be followed:

• children fractional meals: little by little, but often;
• eat food warmly;
• food should be vitaminized and balanced;
• exclusion of food products, which provoke the processes of fermentation and gas formation.

As for physical activities, it is not worth completely eliminating them, but, on the other hand, it would be foolish to completely give up activity. The minimum mobility is shown only in the first days after the operation. Within six weeks there is a fusion of muscles. In this period, the risks of adhesions and hernias are great.

For this reason, work with lifting weights during this period is strictly prohibited. On the other hand, to reduce the likelihood of adhesions will help therapeutic exercises and outdoor walks. Return to physical loads should not be sharp, you should increase the intensity gradually.

How does the complexity of the operation affect the disability?

The complexity of appendectomy and the method of conducting it is directly related to how much the hospital will be given after appendicitis:

• with a timely detection of an inflammatory disease is performed a standard operation. Small cuts are made. In this case, the sick leave is given for a period of five to ten days;
• emergency amputation is carried out in the event that the appendix bursts or peritonitis develops. In this case, a longer recovery period will be required. Patients in this case are in a medical institution for up to thirty days;
• in case of complications the patient can keep in the hospital even more than thirty days. One of the serious complications of appendicitis is appendicular infiltration. It is an accumulation of inflamed tissue around the appendix.

The disability leaflet is issued after an operation for appendicitis by an employee of the institution where the patient was treated

Compensation of

During rehabilitation, the patient does not have to be in the workplace and fulfill his job obligations. In this case, the employee is paid wages for all missed days, but on condition that the sick leave sheet was correctly filled. The first three days are paid by the employer himself, and the steel ones by the insurance fund.

The amount of payments is affected by the length of service. Five-year experience entitles to a sixty-percent payout from the average wage. If the work experience is from five to eight years, the payment is eighty percent. If the length of employment is more than eight years, then the law provides for maximum hundred-percent payments.

So, for the duration of the hospital sheet after surgery for appendectomy affects the type of surgery and the presence of complications. A correctly completed form entitles you to pay compensation.
