What is Appendectomy?
Appendectomy involves removing the inflamed or infected appendix to prevent rupture and spread of infection in the abdomen (peritonitis). The surgery can be done:
- Laparoscopic Appendectomy: Using small incisions and a camera to remove the appendix minimally invasively, which usually allows faster recovery and less pain.
- Open Appendectomy: Traditional surgery via a single larger incision, used in complicated cases or when laparoscopy is not suitable.
Why is Appendectomy Performed?
- To treat acute appendicitis symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever
- To prevent rupture, abscess formation, and peritonitis which can occur if appendicitis is left untreated
- Sometimes performed electively if chronic appendicitis or other appendix problems are diagnosed
