Comorbid Conditions

Factors Influencing Duration

The duration of recovery is affected by the severity of the individual's symptoms, the presence of infection, or other complications, and whether surgery is required. If surgery is required, the method (laparoscopic or open) of surgery, presence of surgical complications, and the individual's ability to heal also will affect the duration of recovery. If surgery is not required, recovery may vary, depending on the individual's response to any prescribed medication (e.g., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], antibiotics).
