Appendectomy
Appendectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine. It is most often performed to treat appendicitis, a painful condition caused by inflammation or infection of the appendix that can lead to rupture if untreated.
When It’s Needed
Appendectomy is recommended when symptoms such as severe pain in the lower right abdomen, nausea, vomiting, fever, or loss of appetite suggest appendicitis. Immediate treatment is crucial to avoid complications like perforation or peritonitis.
Surgical Approach & Recovery
The procedure can be performed through laparoscopic (minimally invasive) or open surgery, depending on the severity of the infection. Recovery typically involves pain control, antibiotics, and gradual return to normal diet and daily activities. Patients are advised to rest, avoid strenuous movement, and monitor for any unusual symptoms during healing.
