What Is Appendix Removal Surgery (Appendectomy)?
The appendix is a small finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine on the lower right side of the abdomen. When the appendix gets infected and inflamed it is called appendicitis. This is a medical emergency and needs immediate treatment.
Appendix removal surgery — also called appendectomy — is the surgical removal of the infected appendix. It is one of the most commonly performed emergency surgeries in the world. When done on time it is very safe and the patient recovers quickly.
If the appendix is not removed on time it can burst — this is called a ruptured appendix. A burst appendix spreads infection throughout the abdomen and can become life-threatening. So it is very important to act fast and consult an experienced surgeon immediately.
Types of Appendectomy:
Dr. Bhushan Chittawadgi may recommend one of two types of appendectomy procedures. They include:
- Open appendectomy: An open appendectomy involves creating a single, larger incision in the abdomen. Once the surgeon makes the incision, they pull out the appendix and then seal the incision.
- Laparoscopic appendectomy: A generally less invasive procedure, a laparoscopic appendectomy involves the surgeon making about 3 small incisions into the abdomen. They then guide a small tube with a camera into the abdomen and use a screen to guide them as they remove the appendix. The surgical team closes the wounds once the doctor removes the appendix.
Both procedures require recovery in the hospital and additional recovery time at home.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Appendix Removal Surgery
Choosing laparoscopic surgery for appendix removal offers many clear advantages:
- Very small cuts — only 2 to 3 tiny incisions
- Much less pain after surgery compared to open surgery
- Shorter hospital stay — most patients go home within 24 hours
- Faster recovery — return to normal activities within 1 week
- Minimal scarring and better cosmetic results
- Lower risk of wound infection and complications
- Faster return to work and daily routine
- Safe and proven method used worldwide
Signs and Symptoms of Appendicitis :
Knowing the symptoms of appendicitis can save your life. Watch out for these warning signs:
- Sudden and severe pain that starts around the belly button and moves to the lower right side of the abdomen
- Pain that gets worse when you move, cough, or take deep breaths
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Fever with chills
- Swelling and tenderness in the lower right abdomen
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Inability to pass gas
If you or anyone in your family has these symptoms please go to the hospital immediately. Do not wait. Appendicitis is a medical emergency.
Causes of Appendicitis
Appendicitis happens when the appendix gets blocked and infected. Common causes include:
- Blockage by hardened stool or faecal matter
- Infection caused by bacteria or viruses
- Inflammation due to inflammatory bowel disease
- Abdominal injury or trauma
- Growth of tumours in or near the appendix
- Intestinal parasites in rare cases
Anyone can get appendicitis. It is most common in people between the ages of 10 and 30 years. But it can happen at any age.
Is appendectomy painful?
During the surgery, you will be asleep under general anesthesia. Afterward, you will probably feel some moderate pain at the site of the incision(s). This should improve within a few days. Dr. Bhushan Chittawadgi can prescribe appropriate pain medication to help you manage during your recovery. Many people manage well without prescription pain medication, but you may use it for a few days.
