Laparoscopic and Robotic Appendicectomy

 Definition 

Taking  its name from the laparoscope, a slender tool with a light and camera,  this procedure changes the technique a surgeon uses to gain access to  the internal site of surgery. Unlike an open appendectomy, laparoscopic  procedures require 1 to 3 small incisions in the abdominal cavity. 

Symptom

1. Appetite loss 2.Diarrhea 3. Fever 4. Frequent and/ or painful urination 5. Nausea 6. Vomiting. 7.  A burst appendix symptoms will also include a high fever and severe pain in the abdominal area.

Precautions Before Surgery

Not take bath or shower within the first 48 hours after the surgery. Don't do cycling Jogging or sexual intercourse. Not go for a swim� in the ocean or in a swimming pool during the first two days of the surgery. Not get into a hot tub or Jacuzzi� at least for 2 weeks after the laparoscopy surgery. 

How Surgery Is Performed ?

– Anesthesia will be administered, placing the patient into an unconcious, pain-free state. – Surgeons make 1 to 3 small, keyhole incisions in the abdomen. – A port is inserted for carbon dioxide which will inflate the stomach, increasing visibility. – A  lighted camera, called a laparoscope will be inserted through another  incision point. This will give the surgeon a magnified, 2D view of the  internal organs on a monitor.

– In the case of rupture, a drainage tube may be inserted to drain any fluid build up. – All tools will be removed, and remaining carbon dioxide will escape through the incisions. – Incisions are closed with sutures, staples or covered with a glue-like substance and sterile bandages.

AFter Care

Keepy the incisions clean and dry. Be out of bed and walk the day after the surgery to diminish the risk of blood clots. You will probably be able to resume regular activities, such as showering, taking the stairs and driving in one to two weeks time.
