Appendicitis Surgery

What is Appendicitis?

Appendicitis is the swelling and infection of the appendix, a small organ in the lower right abdomen. If untreated, it can burst and cause serious complications.

Signs and Symptoms

Common symptoms include severe pain in the lower right abdomen, nausea, loss of appetite, fever, and swelling. The pain usually worsens with movement, coughing, or deep breaths.

When is Surgery Needed?

Surgery, known as appendectomy, is the most effective treatment. It can be done laparoscopically for quicker recovery or through open surgery in complex cases.

Benefits of Appendicitis Surgery

Appendectomy provides a permanent cure by removing the infected appendix. It prevents rupture, reduces infection risk, and helps patients recover faster with long-lasting relief.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients return to normal life within one to two weeks. Proper rest, a light diet, and follow-up visits ensure smooth healing and recovery.
