ABSTRACT
Acute appendicitis is a common disease requiring surgical procedure. The aim of our study was to determine the factors associated with a patient (modifiable and non‑modifiable) that significantly affect the process of wound healing after appendectomy. Conclusion drawn based on the study were as follows: wound healing after cholecystectomy was adversely affected by modifiable factors, like duration of the disease symptoms, diabetes, overweight and obesity, and smoking.
