Appendicitis is a condition in which the appendix gets inflamed to cause intense pain around the belly botton. Appendix is a tube of tissue which is attached to the large intestine measuring about 3 1/2-inch long. If the appendix gets inflamed and left untreated, it will perforate or burst out leading to serious medical conditions. Thus it should be removed before being ruptured.
Appendectomy is the surgical procedure of removing the appendix. Appendicitis is commonly seen among people who are in the age group of 11 and 30.Symptoms of Appendicitis:
- Pain near the navel or the belly button
- Fever
- Abdominal swelling
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
- Inability to pass gas
Rashmi Nursing Home provides the best Appendicitis treatment in Bangalore. The hospital is specialized in performing minimally invasive surgeries such as hysteroscopy, laparoscopy and cataract surgeries.
Appendectomy is of two types: open appendectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy. The mode of surgery is chosen based on the severity of the condition.
Open Appendectomy: This procedure is adopted only when the appendix gets ruptured and the infections get spread to other organs. This will clean the entire abdominal cavity.
Laparoscopic Appendectomy: In this procedure, an incision is made in the abdomen and a small tube called cannula is inserted. This will inflate the abdomen with carbon dioxide. After that an instrument called laparoscope (containing high-intensity of light and a high-resolution camera) is inserted. This will help the surgeon to analyse the appendix through camera, so that the appendix can be removed and tied off with switches. This procedure is used to remove non-ruptured appendicitis.
