What Is Appendicitis? Appendicitis occurs when the small, finger-shaped organ attached to the large intestine becomes inflamed and infected.

Additional tests may include an X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. Complication if your appendix bursts, surgery, and recovery are more complicated. Your surgeon will need to clean the infection that spreads inside your abdomen. If not treated quickly, the infection could lead to serious illness and death.

Two types of surgery: • Laparoscopy - A surgeon makes several small incisions in your abdomen. They will insert a scope to look inside. The surgeon will use small tools to remove the appendix through the small incisions. This type has a short recovery time. • Laparotomy: A cut or incision about 2 to 4 inches long is made in the lower right-hand side of your belly or abdomen. The appendix is taken out through the incision. I Recovery Patients usually recover well after surgery. You will need to limit physical activity for the first 3 to 5 days after laparoscopic surgery. Limit it to 10 to 14 days after a laparotomy #kghospital🏥 #kgh #appendicitis #appendectomy #surgery #appendix #medical #tiroidx #st #appendixremoval #appendixsurgery #health #medstudent #distensionabdominal #Laparoscopy #Laparotomy
