Safe and Minimally Invasive Treatment for Gallbladder Stones

What is Appendicitis?

Appendicitis is a condition where the appendix becomes inflamed, often due to blockage or infection. It is a medical emergency that requires timely surgical treatment.

Common symptoms include:

• Pain starting around the navel and shifting to the lower right abdomen
• Fever
• Nausea or vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Abdominal swelling
• Pain that worsens with movement or coughing

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications

What is Laparoscopic Appendicectomy?

In laparoscopic appendicectomy:

• The appendix is removed using small keyhole incisions
• A camera (laparoscope) provides a clear view inside the abdomen
• Specialized instruments are used to safely remove the appendix
• The surgery is performed under general anesthesia

This approach results in less tissue damage and quicker recovery.

A thorough medical evaluation is performed before surgery.
