The very best treating appendicitis is its surgery. Mild appendicitis may sometimes be cured with antibiotics. More serious cases are given surgery to remove the appendix, called an appendectomy. Doctors either use an "open" technique or perhaps a non-invasive approach to take away the appendix.
Appendicitis is considered an emergency and a person with symptoms needs to see a doctor immediately!
What is a laparoscopic appendectomy?
The laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgical technique involves making several tiny cuts within the abdomen and inserting a miniature camera and surgical instruments. As many as 3 or 4 incisions are made. The surgeon then removes the appendix with the instruments, so there's usually you don't need to make a large incision in the abdomen. Your camera projects a magnified image of the area onto a television monitor which will help advice the surgeons as they remove the appendix.
What is the advantage of laparoscopic appendectomy?
Most cases of acute appendicitis may be treatable laparoscopically. The main advantages are:
- Less post-operative pain
- Faster recovery and go back to normal activity
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less post-operative complications
- Minimally sized incisions/scars
In most cases, patients could be discharged within 24 to 36 hours. By comparison, the hospital stay is typically two to 5 days for an open procedure.
Can every patient have a laparoscopic appendectomy?
No. Patients with cardiac diseases and COPD wouldn't be good candidates for laparoscopic appendectomy. In addition, laparoscopic appendectomy isn't recommended for those with pre-existing disease conditions.
Laparoscopic appendectomy can also be harder in patients who have had previous lower abdominal surgery and for obese patients. Seniors can also be at increased risk for complications with general anesthesia. We evaluate every patient to determine the appropriate type of surgery to do.
