GI and Laparoscopic
Appendicitis is treated by surgically removing the inflamed appendix, a procedure called appendectomy. Laparoscopic appendectomy is the preferred method today because it involves smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery.
Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, a small finger-shaped organ located in the lower right abdomen. The condition usually begins suddenly and worsens over a short period. Without prompt treatment, the appendix can rupture, leading to severe infection inside the abdomen.
Because appendicitis can progress rapidly, early diagnosis and surgical intervention are essential. At My Health Hospitals, Kukatpally, patients receive immediate evaluation and expert care.
Appendicitis usually develops when the appendix becomes blocked, leading to bacterial growth, inflammation, and infection. Understanding the common causes helps in early recognition and timely treatment.
In many cases, the exact cause may not be clearly identified. Regardless of the cause, prompt medical evaluation is essential to prevent complications such as appendix rupture.
Appendicitis often begins with mild discomfort that can quickly progress into severe abdominal pain. Recognizing symptoms early can prevent complications.
Medical advice: Persistent or worsening abdominal pain should never be ignored and requires immediate medical evaluation.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial to avoid rupture of the appendix and serious abdominal infection. Doctors use a combination of clinical examination and diagnostic tests.
The definitive treatment for appendicitis is surgical removal of the appendix (appendectomy). The surgical approach depends on the stage and severity of the condition.
