Understanding the Condition
What is Appendicitis?
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, a small pouch connected to the large intestine. It commonly causes abdominal pain that may begin around the belly button and move towards the lower-right side of the abdomen. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, bloating, constipation, or diarrhoea.
Appendicitis commonly develops when the opening of the appendix becomes blocked. If left untreated, the appendix can perforate or burst, potentially causing an abscess, peritonitis, or sepsis. Treatment depends on the severity and may include antibiotics for selected uncomplicated cases or appendix removal surgery when recommended.
Severe or worsening abdominal pain, especially with fever, repeated vomiting, or significant abdominal tenderness, requires urgent medical evaluation.

Complicated Appendicitis
The inflammation may be associated with perforation or rupture, an abscess, peritonitis, a gangrenous appendix, or an inflammatory mass called a phlegmon. These cases require careful medical assessment and treatment planning.

Recurrent Appendicitis
Symptoms may return after previous non-operative treatment. Recurrent abdominal symptoms should be medically evaluated because several conditions can cause similar pain.

DIAGNOSIS
How is Appendicitis Diagnosed?
A doctor usually diagnoses appendicitis by reviewing your symptoms, medical history, and performing a physical examination. Blood tests, urine tests, and imaging may also be used to help confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions with similar symptoms.
Depending on the patient and clinical findings, the doctor may recommend an ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. Ultrasound can be useful in children, while CT provides detailed images of the appendix and surrounding tissues.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy
Laparoscopic Appendectomy for Smaller Incisions & Recovery
Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove an inflamed or infected appendix through small abdominal incisions. A surgeon uses a laparoscope with a camera and specialised surgical instruments to safely remove the appendix.
The suitability of laparoscopic surgery depends on the patient's condition, severity of appendicitis, and surgical findings. A qualified surgeon can assess the condition and recommend the most appropriate approach.
