🩺 What Is the Appendix & Appendicitis?
The appendix is a small finger-like pouch attached to the large intestine.
When it becomes inflamed or infected — a condition called appendicitis — it causes severe abdominal pain, nausea, and fever.
This is a surgical emergency because a burst appendix can spread infection inside the abdomen (peritonitis), which can be life-threatening.
The only definitive treatment is appendectomy — surgical removal of the appendix.
⚠️ Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
If you experience any of these, consult a surgeon immediately:
✅ Sharp pain in the lower right abdomen
✅ Fever, nausea, or vomiting
✅ Loss of appetite
✅ Bloating or constipation
✅ Pain that worsens with movement or coughing
Delaying treatment can lead to complications like rupture, abscess formation, or infection spreading to other organs.
⚕️ Why Surgery Is Needed
Once appendicitis develops, the appendix will not heal on its own or with medicines.
Surgery prevents rupture, infection, and long-term complications.
Benefits of early surgery:
✅ Prevents life-threatening infection
✅ Quick relief from pain
✅ Minimal scarring (especially with laparoscopy)
✅ Faster healing and return to normal life
🔪 Types of Appendectomy
There are two main approaches:
- Open Appendectomy – A small incision is made in the right lower abdomen to remove the appendix.
- Laparoscopic Appendectomy – Small keyhole incisions are made, and the appendix is removed using a camera-guided instrument.
At Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic, laparoscopic appendectomy is preferred for its precision, minimal scarring, and faster recovery.
