Appendix Surgery
Appendix surgery, or appendicectomy, is performed for acute appendicitis, a condition that causes severe abdominal pain and infection risk. The procedure is usually done laparoscopically, offering faster recovery and minimal scarring. Under general anesthesia, the inflamed appendix is removed through small incisions. Patients recover within 1-2 weeks, with mild pain and dietary restrictions. Possible complications include infection, abscess formation, or bowel obstruction. Post-operative care involves gradual reintroduction of food, hydration, and avoiding heavy activities. Laparoscopic appendicectomy is a gold-standard treatment for appendicitis, ensuring quick relief and minimal post-surgical discomfort.
