The most common treatment for appendicitis is the surgical removal of the inflamed appendix, a procedure known as an appendectomy. This can be performed using either an open surgery or a minimally invasive technique called laparoscopic appendectomy. The choice of procedure depends on various factors, such as the severity of the condition and the surgeon's expertise. In some cases, if the appendix hasn't ruptured and there are no complications, antibiotics may be administered to treat the infection and reduce inflammation. However, this approach is typically reserved for cases where surgery is not immediately possible or if there are specific reasons to avoid surgery. |
