Laparoscopic appendectomy

Laparoscopic Appendectomy in Yeshwanthpur Bangalore

The process of removal of the vermiform appendix by using minimal incisions. When the appendix becomes infected, surgery is performed to remove it. Appendicitis is the medical term for this condition, and an appendectomy is a standard emergency procedure.

The appendix is a small pouch connected to the big intestine, and it is located in the bottom right quadrant of your abdomen. If you develop appendicitis, your appendix must be removed immediately. If left untreated, your appendix can rupture. There is a medical emergency here.

Types of methods

There are two methods for removing the appendix. They are as follows,

Appendectomy by open incision. An open appendectomy is a conventional procedure.

 A 2 to 4-inch extended cut or incision is created in the bottom right side of your tummy or abdomen. Through the incision, the appendix is removed.

Appendectomy through laparoscopy. A laparoscopic appendectomy in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore is a newer, less intrusive procedure. This technique is less invasive. That is, it is performed without a huge incision. Instead, one to three little cuts are made. A long, thin tube known as a laparoscope is inserted through one of the incisions. It has a tiny video camera as well as surgical equipment. The surgeon uses a TV display to guide the equipment and see into your abdomen. One of the incisions is used to remove the appendix.

The doctor may decide that an open appendectomy is required during laparoscopic surgery and perform one.

An open appendectomy may be required if your appendix has already burst and the infection has spread. An open appendectomy may cause more pain and scarring than a laparoscopic appendectomy. Once healed, the scar from either surgery is frequently difficult to see.

Complications are uncommon with either form of surgery—a laparoscopic appendectomy results in a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and fewer infection rates.

Some studies have recently suggested that intravenous antibiotics alone could heal appendicitis without requiring an appendectomy. These findings are still being debated, and appendectomy remains the standard of care.

After procedure

It is common to feel weak and exhausted following surgery for several days after returning home, and your stomach may be bloated and uncomfortable. If you have laparoscopic surgery, you may experience shoulder soreness for roughly 24 hours.

You may also have nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, gas, or a headache. This normally passes in a few days.

Your recovery time is determined by the type of surgery you underwent. If you have laparoscopic surgery, you should be able to return to work or your routine within 1 to 3 weeks, and it could take 2 to 4 weeks if you underwent open surgery.
