Appendix Removal Surgery (Appendectomy)
Appendix Removal Surgery, also known as Appendectomy, is performed to treat appendicitis, a condition where the appendix becomes inflamed and infected. If not treated in time, a ruptured appendix can lead to serious, life-threatening complications such as infection spreading inside the abdomen.
At SurgicalSol, under the expert care of Dr. Asif Iqbal, we provide safe and advanced surgical treatment for appendicitis. As a skilled Gastrointestinal and Laparoscopic Surgeon, Dr. Asif specializes in early diagnosis and minimally invasive appendix removal to ensure quick recovery and minimal discomfort.
Common Symptoms of Appendicitis
-
Sudden pain starting near the navel and shifting to the lower right abdomen
-
Pain that worsens with movement, coughing, or walking
-
Nausea and vomiting
-
Loss of appetite
-
Fever and abdominal swelling
If these symptoms appear suddenly, immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent rupture.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Dr. Asif conducts a thorough clinical examination supported by ultrasound or CT scan to confirm appendicitis. Blood tests help identify infection and inflammation. Early and accurate diagnosis allows timely surgery and reduces the risk of complications.
Treatment Options
The most effective treatment for appendicitis is Laparoscopic Appendix Removal Surgery (Keyhole Surgery). During this minimally invasive procedure, the inflamed appendix is safely removed through small incisions. This approach results in less pain, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stay, and faster return to daily activities.
