Appendicitis is the inflammation of appendix. Appendix is a small


tubular structure connected to the first part of the large intestine
called as the cecum. Removal of an appendix does not lead to any
major side effects.

Acute inflammation of the appendix usually presents with loss of


appetite, pain in right lower abdomen, fever, vomiting, sometimes
inability to pass gas and distension of abdomen. Acute
appendicitis is almost always a surgical emergency and if left
untreated it may develop into an abscess. In severe cases
appendix may perforate and may lead to infection all over the
abdomen – peritonitis.
Why does appendicitis occur
Appendicitis usually results from blockage of
appendix due to stools, foreign body or cancer.
It can also occur in response to any other
infection in the body as well.
Diagnosis of appendicitis is usually made on
clinical basis by history and examination.
Routine blood work including a CBC is
performed. Ultrasound of the abdomen usually
nails the diagnosis. CT scan of the abdomen
may rarely be needed. Sometimes a tumour of
the appendix may also present as appendicitis.
Treatment
Laparoscopic appendicectomy is the standard
treatment for acute appendicitis. In some
cases where an appendicular abscess has
formed, drainage of abscess may be needed
followed by appendicectomy at a later stage.
Sometimes if there is an appendicular lump,
conservative management is done and
followed by appendicectomy after 4 to 6
weeks.
Laparoscopic appendectomy
Appendectomy is the surgical procedure done to remove an infected appendix. Traditional open surgical
procedures require the appendix to be removed via a 4 to 5 cm incision made to in the lower right
abdominal wall. However, in laparoscopic appendectomy surgery, the surgeons perform the procedure
by making three incisions of 0.5 to 1 cm. Laparoscopic surgery is the norm now and is the procedure of
choice for most cases.
Single incision laparoscopic appendectomy
Nowadays, appendectomy can also be performed through a single incision in the belly button. A 2 cm cut
is made in the navel and the entire surgical procedure can be performed through this single cut. Once this
cut is stitched up and it heals, there is practically no scar on the abdomen. This is also less painful as
compared to 3 port laparoscopic appendectomy.
Advantages of laparoscopic approach
The main benefits of laparoscopic appendectomy surgeryare that the patients experience lesser pain
and stay in the hospital for a shorter time. Recovery is faster and most patients get back to work much
sooner than those who have undergone open surgery. Chances of wound infection are minimized greatly
after laparoscopic surgery. Rate of incisional hernia is also much lower after bariatric surgery.
Cost of laparoscopic appendicectomy surgery in India
The cost of laparoscopic appendectomy surgerydepends on many factors. Laparoscopic
appendectomy surgerycost varies as per the type of hospital, type of room selected and the duration of
hospital stay. In complicated cases such as appendicular abscess or appendicular perforation, the patient
may need to stay for a much longer period in the hospital. Laparoscopic appendicectomy cost is usually
covered by insurance companies in India.
