Appendix Removal

Appendix Removal (Laparoscopic Appendectomy)

Overview

Laparoscopic appendectomy is a modern, minimally invasive procedure to remove an inflamed or infected appendix. At Gurjar Hospital, we use this advanced technique to ensure faster recovery, smaller incisions, and less post-operative pain compared to open surgery. The appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine, can become swollen due to infection—a condition known as appendicitis. If not treated promptly, it can burst and cause serious complications. Our team offers quick and effective surgical care to prevent such risks and help patients return to normal life swiftly.

Symptoms / Conditions Treated

Appendix removal is usually performed in emergency cases where patients show signs of appendicitis. Common symptoms include:

• Sudden pain in the lower right side of the abdomen

• Nausea and vomiting

• Loss of appetite

• Low-grade fever

• Abdominal bloating

• Pain that worsens with movement or coughing

In some cases, a ruptured appendix can lead to pus collection or infection in the abdomen, which may also require surgical intervention.

How We Treat at Gurjar Hospital

At Gurjar Hospital, laparoscopic appendectomy is performed by experienced surgeons in a sterile, fully equipped operation theatre. The procedure involves 2–3 small cuts through which a camera and surgical instruments are inserted. The appendix is carefully removed, and the incisions are closed with minimal stitching. The entire surgery usually takes 30–45 minutes and is done under general anesthesia. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours, with very little pain and faster healing. Our team also provides complete post-operative care, including pain management and dietary advice.
