Appendix Surgery (Appendectomy) in Andheri West

What is Appendicitis?

Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine. It often requires immediate medical attention, as a ruptured appendix can lead to severe complications.

Symptoms of Appendicitis

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may have appendicitis:
  • Right Lower Abdominal Pain: A classic symptom that worsens over time.
  • Loss of Appetite: Often accompanied by nausea or vomiting.
  • Fever and Swelling: Signs of infection.
  • Abdominal Swelling: Can occur due to fluid buildup.
Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to avoid complications such as perforated appendix or abdominal infections.

Causes of Appendicitis

Appendicitis is often caused by a blockage in the appendix, which may be due to:
  1. Hard Stool (Fecalith): Blocks the appendix opening.
  2. Infection: Bacterial or viral infections can lead to swelling.
  3. Tumors or Growths: Rare but possible causes.
Understanding these causes helps in quick diagnosis and treatment.

Diagnosis of Appendicitis

At Curis Life, we use advanced diagnostic tools to confirm appendicitis, including:
  • Physical Examination: Checking for tenderness in the lower right abdomen.
  • CT Scan for Appendicitis: Provides detailed images for accurate diagnosis.
  • Blood Tests: To check for elevated white blood cell counts indicating infection.
  • Appendicitis Ultrasound: Commonly used for pregnant women or children.

Treatment Options for Appendicitis

We offer both surgical and non-surgical treatments based on the severity of the condition.

1. Non-Surgical Appendicitis Treatment

In mild cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to reduce inflammation. However, this approach is temporary, and surgery is often recommended for complete treatment.

2. Surgical Options

Laparoscopic Appendectomy
This is the most common and minimally invasive surgery for appendicitis. It involves:
  • Small incisions for faster recovery.
  • Reduced post-operative pain.
  • Minimal scarring.
Open Appendectomy
In cases of ruptured appendix or complications like infection, open surgery may be required.

What to Expect After Appendix Surgery

Recovery After Appendectomy

Most patients recover quickly after laparoscopic appendectomy, typically within 1-2 weeks. Open surgery may require a longer recovery period.

Diet After Appendectomy

  • Start with liquids and gradually move to solid foods.
  • Avoid spicy or fatty foods during the recovery phase.

Pain Management

  • Mild pain can be managed with medications prescribed by your surgeon.
Regular follow-ups at Curis Life ensure a smooth recovery.
