Lap Appendectomy

Laparoscopic Appendicectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to remove the appendix, usually when it becomes inflamed or infected (appendicitis). The surgery is done using small incisions, a camera (laparoscope), and fine surgical instruments, allowing the surgeon to remove the appendix with precision. Compared to open surgery, this technique offers less pain, faster recovery, minimal scarring, and shorter hospital stay, making it the preferred approach for both children and adults.

Procedure & Recovery

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, where 2–3 small incisions are made in the abdomen. A laparoscope is inserted to visualize the appendix, which is then carefully removed. The entire procedure usually takes about 30–60 minutes. After surgery, patients are encouraged to start walking early and can resume light activities within a few days. Most patients recover completely within 1–2 weeks with proper care and follow-up.

Key Points
  • Minimally invasive technique with small incisions
  • Short hospital stay (often same-day or 1 day)
  • Quick return to normal routine
  • Reduced risk of wound infection and complications
Indications for Surgery

Laparoscopic appendicectomy is recommended when a patient develops acute appendicitis, which presents with symptoms like abdominal pain (starting near the navel and shifting to the right lower abdomen), fever, nausea, and vomiting. Early surgical intervention is important to prevent complications such as appendix rupture, abscess formation, or severe infection inside the abdomen.
