Appendectomy for a Child

Appendectomy is a surgery to
remove the appendix. The
appendix is a small pouch that
comes off the large intestine. The
appendix sometimes gets
blocked and becomes infected
and swollen. Signs of an infected
appendix include abdominal pain
in the lower right side, fever,
poor appetite, nausea and
vomiting. If the appendix bursts,
it can make you very sick.

There are two ways to do this
surgery:
Open appendectomy - a
single incision is made in the
abdomen. The doctor works
through this larger incision to
remove the appendix.
Laparoscopic appendectomy - 3 or 4 small incisions are made in the
abdomen. The doctor uses a camera and tools through the small
incisions to remove the appendix. With this type of surgery, your
child may recover faster, have less pain, less scarring, fewer wound
problems and often spends less time in the hospital.

To Prepare
Tell your doctor what medicines your child is taking including
prescriptions, over the counter medicines, vitamins and herbs.
If your child has any allergies to medicines, foods or other things, tell
the staff.
Your child should have nothing more to drink until after the surgery.

During Surgery
Your child will wear a hospital gown.
An IV (intravenous) is put into a vein in your childs arm or leg for
giving medicine and fluids.
Your child will be taken on a cart to the surgery room. A belt may be
put over your childs legs for safety.
Your child will be given medicine so he or she will sleep through the
surgery. The medicine will be given through the IV or a face mask.
The abdomen is cleaned and sheets are put over your child to keep
the surgery area clean.
An incision is made in your childs abdomen. With laparoscopic, 3 or
4 incisions are made.
The appendix is removed.
The incision(s) are closed with stitches, staples or special tapes called
steri-strips.
If stitches or staples are used, a bandage is taped over them.

After Surgery

In the Hospital
Your child is taken to the recovery room and watched closely until he
or she wakes up and is doing well.
Your childs breathing, blood pressure and pulse are checked often.
Your doctor will talk to you about your childs surgery.
Most children are ready to go home in 24 hours.
Medicines given during the surgery will make your child sleepy.
Your child should be watched closely for 24 hours after you go home.

At Home
Your child should get plenty of rest.
Give medicines as directed by your doctor.
Call your childs doctors office to schedule a follow up visit.
Your child may take a shower. Do not let your child take a tub bath
for one week after surgery. Remove the bandage(s) over the
incision(s) when your child takes a shower or at least one time each
day. Carefully wash the incisions with soap and water and pat dry.
Put new band-aids over each incision. Change the band-aids any time
they get wet or dirty.
If your child has steri-strips, leave them alone. They will fall off on
their own.

It may be hard for your child to have a bowel movement after
surgery. Walking and eating high fiber cereals, beans, vegetables and
whole grain breads will help. Drinking a lot of liquids may also help.
Your child may need to do deep breathing and coughing exercises to
keep from getting a lung infection after surgery. Have your child
deep breathe and cough every hour while awake and if he or she
wakes up during the night.
Your child should not lift objects over 10 pounds for three days.
Talk to your childs doctor or nurse about other activity limits. Your
child should be able to return to normal activities in about one week
if laparoscopic surgery was done. If it was an open surgery, recovery
may take longer.

Call your doctor right away if your child has:
Pain in the abdomen or shoulder area that does not go away or gets
worse
Increased redness, bruising or swelling
A fever over 101 degrees F
Chills, a cough, or is feeling weak and achy
Vomiting
Skin that is itchy, swollen skin or a new rash
Trouble having a bowel movement or has diarrhea often
