Appendix Operation (Appendectomy)

Appendix surgery, also called appendectomy, is the most common treatment for appendicitis – a painful swelling of the appendix. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications like rupture and infection. Our hospital offers both **laparoscopic (keyhole)** and **open surgery** approaches, ensuring safe and effective removal of the appendix.

Types of Appendix Surgery

Depending on the patient’s condition, our surgeons decide the best approach:

• Laparoscopic Appendectomy: Minimally invasive, smaller cuts, less pain, faster healing.
• Open Appendectomy: Recommended in case of severe infection, rupture, or abscess.

Symptoms Requiring Appendix Surgery

• Severe pain in the lower right abdomen.
• Loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting.
• Fever and abdominal swelling.
• Sudden worsening of abdominal pain.

Benefits of Early Surgery

Quick surgical treatment prevents rupture, reduces complications, and promotes faster recovery. With our advanced operation theatres and expert surgical team, patients usually return home within **24–48 hours** after laparoscopic surgery.

Post-Surgery Care

• Short hospital stay for monitoring recovery.
• Pain management and antibiotics to prevent infection.
• Gradual return to normal diet and activities.
• Full recovery typically within 1–2 weeks.

Our surgical team ensures safe, effective, and compassionate care throughout the process, helping patients recover quickly and return to normal life.
