What is laparoscopic appendectomy?
Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix. The surgery is performed when there is an inflammation in the appendix called appendicitis. The appendix is a narrow, tube-like organ that is connected at the beginning of the large intestine. The inflamed appendix needs to be removed because it can burst and causes a life-threatening infection called ‘peritonitis’.
Laparoscopic Appendectomy Surgery is more beneficial than the regular appendectomy as it has shorter recovery time and is relatively quite pain free as compared to regular surgery.
Performed by expert general surgeon and physician at Neelkanth Hospitals Private Limited using the minimally invasive laparoscopic treatment. Many people have undergone the Appendectomy treatment at Neelkanth Hospitals and achieve safe and successful results.
Why is an appendectomy performed?
Appendectomy is performed for the removal of an inflamed appendix. Appendix inflammation occurs when stool or bacteria is clogged inside the opening of the appendix. The clogged material results in infection, swelling and inflammation. The aggregation of bacteria and pus causes pain around the belly button and the right section of the lower abdomen. One can also experience nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea due to appendicitis.
If appendicitis remains untreated, then the appendix might rupture, resulting in the release of bacteria and fecal into the abdominal sac leading to a life-threatening infection called peritonitis. So, it is necessary to perform an appendectomy to prevent yourself from any further complications.

- Stomach pain
- Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea
