Appendicitis / Appendix Treatment
Our expert surgeons perform laparoscopic appendectomy, a minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and a camera-guided approach to remove the inflamed appendix. This reduces pain, speeds up healing, and minimizes scarring.
Patients typically recover within 1–2 weeks. Hospital stay is short (usually 24 hours), and most can return to routine activities within a few days, following basic post-operative care and dietary guidelines.
Appendectomy is a highly effective and permanent solution for appendicitis. Once the appendix is removed, the chances of recurrence are eliminated, and the patient can lead a normal life without dietary restrictions.
Surgery is advised if:
You experience severe abdominal pain, especially in the lower right side
You have symptoms like fever, vomiting, or loss of appetite
Imaging confirms an inflamed or ruptured appendix
Minimally invasive with faster healing
Short hospital stay
No risk of future appendicitis
Low chance of complications with early intervention
While rare, possible risks include infection, bleeding, or injury to nearby organs. Some patients may feel mild digestive changes temporarily, which generally resolve with time and proper care.

Appendicitis is when your appendix (a small tube-shaped organ in the lower right side of your belly) gets swollen and infected. It can cause sudden, sharp stomach pain and usually needs urgent treatment.
It usually happens when the appendix gets blocked—by stool, infection, or swelling—which causes bacteria to grow and leads to inflammation and infection.
Common signs include:
Sudden pain in the lower right side of the belly
Fever and nausea
Loss of appetite
Vomiting
Pain that worsens when you cough or move
Yes, if left untreated, the appendix can burst (rupture), causing serious infection in the abdomen (peritonitis), which can be life-threatening. That’s why quick treatment is important.
Doctors usually do:
Physical exam (pressing the belly to check pain)
Blood tests (to look for infection)
Ultrasound or CT scan (to see the appendix clearly)
The most common and effective treatment is surgery to remove the appendix, called an appendectomy. In some mild cases, antibiotics may be tried first, but surgery is still the safest option for long-term cure.
It’s a keyhole surgery using small cuts and a camera to remove the appendix. It has less pain, faster recovery, and fewer scars compared to open surgery.
Most people recover in:
1–2 weeks after laparoscopic surgery
2–4 weeks after open surgery
You may need rest for a few days, but can usually return to normal life quickly.
Surgery is generally safe, but possible risks include:
Infection
Bleeding
Reaction to anesthesia
Rare chance of bowel issues
Yes, absolutely. The appendix doesn’t have a major role in your body, so after removal, you can live a healthy and normal life without any issues.
