Dr. Kishan A V – Specialist in Laparoscopic Appendectomy, Bengaluru

What is Laparoscopic Appendectomy?

Laparoscopic Appendectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to remove the appendix, usually in cases of appendicitis. Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes inflamed and infected, causing severe abdominal pain and requiring immediate medical attention. This laparoscopic approach ensures a quicker, safer, and less painful recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

How is the Procedure Performed?

The surgeon makes a few small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope for a clear view of the appendix. Specialized surgical instruments are used to carefully detach and remove the appendix. The incisions are then closed with sutures or surgical glue. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and most patients can return home within 24 to 48 hours.

Who Should Opt for Laparoscopic Appendectomy?

Patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis, or those experiencing symptoms such as severe abdominal pain (typically in the lower right side), fever, nausea, or vomiting, should undergo an appendectomy. It is especially recommended for patients who want minimal scarring and faster recovery.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Appendectomy

• Minimally invasive procedure with small incisions.
• Less post-operative pain compared to open surgery.
• Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay.
• Lower risk of infection and complications.
• Minimal scarring and better cosmetic results.

Why Choose Laparoscopic Over Open Surgery?

Laparoscopic appendectomy provides a safer and quicker alternative to open surgery, with less pain, smaller scars, and faster healing. It allows patients to resume their daily activities sooner and reduces the risk of post-surgical complications, making it the preferred choice for most appendicitis cases.
