Laparoscopic Appendicectomy

Laparoscopic Appendicectomy

Laparoscopic appendicectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the appendix. It involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a camera and specialized instruments are inserted. The surgeon views the appendix on a monitor and carefully removes it. This approach reduces scarring, postoperative pain, and recovery time compared to traditional open appendectomy. It is the preferred method for treating appendicitis when possible. Patients typically experience a quicker return to normal activities. Laparoscopic appendicectomy is highly effective in addressing appendicitis and preventing complications associated with a ruptured appendix.
