Of course it hurts. You get cut open!

Most appendectomies can be performed using keyhole surgery, not much pain and very little recovery time .

Appendicitis is very painful. Surgery to remove it is one of the very few operations where you feel better when you wake up. Keyhole=laparoscopic surgery, you can recover in one day, at least from the incision.

My husband said he felt worse after surgery than before, but he didn't have the keyhole surgery. He has a three inch scar from where he was held together by staples. His recovery was less than two weeks.

uhhh mine was the size of a grapefruit, my scar is nearly 15cm long, i was in the hospital for 9 days and i decided to walk to the phone 2 hours after my surgery, bad idea, plus mine was never stitched shut, for the first 5 days they just stuffed the hole full of guaze and put a bandage over it, after those 5 days they removed it, then ster-strip'd it together, the pinching was odd. but when the doctor (a big russian guy) was pulling the bandage off i was whimpering (very sticky hurt my skin alot) and all he said was "don't worry 's just skin", and i missed my favorite band because of it
