Understanding the Condition
What is Appendix Surgery?
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix — a small finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine. When the appendix becomes blocked (by stool, mucus, or infection), it can swell, fill with pus, and rupture if untreated. Appendectomy — surgical removal of the appendix — is the definitive treatment.
Laparoscopic appendectomy uses 3 small incisions, causing less pain, minimal scarring, and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery. For perforated or severely infected cases, open surgery may be required.
Warning Signs of Appendicitis
- Sudden pain starting around the navel and shifting to the lower right abdomen
- Pain that worsens with movement, coughing, or deep breathing
- Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite
- Low-grade fever (99°F–102°F)
- Abdominal rigidity and tenderness at McBurney's point
