Hello everyone, this is Dr. Madhu Bagaria, and I'm an endometriosis excision surgeon practicing in New Jersey and New York area. Today, I wanted to discuss the recovery time associated with appendectomy, which is the removal of the appendix. When you come to see an endometriosis excision surgeon, you may have heard the possibility of removal of the appendix, and then the question that arises in the minds of many of my patients is, "How does it affect my recovery?"

I wanted to let you know that undergoing Appendectomy doesn't affect your recovery in any way. You will still have an outpatient procedure which means you're able to go home the same day. There's no restriction on your diet which means you're able to eat and drink the same way as a person without undergoing Appendectomy would.

And it also doesn't add much to your operating room time, maybe 5 or 10 minutes extra operating room time so it avoids the risk of prolonged anesthesia.
