What is Appendix Surgery?

Appendix surgery, also known as appendectomy, is a medical procedure to remove an inflamed appendix. The appendix is a small pouch connected to the large intestine. While it doesn’t have a significant function in the human body, if it gets infected (a condition known as appendicitis), it can cause severe pain and even become life-threatening if left untreated. At Dr. Sankhwar Hospital, we specialize in safe and effective appendix surgeries using both open and laparoscopic techniques.

Causes of Appendicitis

  • Blockage in the appendix (often by stool or a foreign body)

  • Infection in the digestive tract

  • Inflammation from gastrointestinal issues

  • Enlarged lymphoid follicles

Common Symptoms

  • Sudden pain on the right lower side of the abdomen

  • Pain that worsens with movement, coughing, or sneezing

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Loss of appetite

  • Low-grade fever

  • Swelling or tenderness in the abdomen

  • Constipation or diarrhea

Treatments Available at Dr. Sankhwar Hospital

  • Clinical Diagnosis: Our experienced doctors conduct a thorough physical exam, blood tests, and imaging (ultrasound/CT scan) to confirm appendicitis.

  • Laparoscopic Appendectomy: A minimally invasive procedure with faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring.

  • Open Appendectomy: In some cases, traditional open surgery is necessary, especially if the appendix has ruptured.

  • Post-Operative Care: We provide 24×7 care, pain management, antibiotics, and dietary guidance for fast healing.
