Laparoscopic Appendix Surgery in Mumbai
Emergency laparoscopic appendectomy by experienced general & colorectal surgeons.
What is Appendicitis?
The appendix is a small, finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine. Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes inflamed or infected, causing severe abdominal pain, fever, vomiting and other symptoms.
Symptoms to watch for
Common causes
- Obstruction by stool, foreign body or tumour
- Lymphoid hyperplasia
- Infection
Treatment at DLPC
The primary treatment is surgical removal of the appendix (appendectomy). Antibiotics may be prescribed for a mild or early-stage infection; if symptoms do not resolve, the patient needs immediate surgery or elective surgery after four to six weeks.
Laparoscopic Appendicectomy
We recommend Laparoscopic Appendicectomy — the abdomen is inflated with a harmless gas and the appendix is removed through small (~5 mm) incisions using thin instruments. This avoids larger incisions, recovery is faster and patients can usually go home the next day.
Why treat early — Implications
- If untreated, an inflamed appendix can rupture and release bacteria into the abdomen, causing peritonitis.
- Peritonitis can lead to sepsis, shock and multiple organ failure.
