Appendectomy - Laparoscopic/Open

When the appendix becomes infected and inflamed, it has to be surgically removed in an operation known as an Appendectomy.

 

Two types of procedures are available:

 

 

Both operations take 1 to 2 hours and require hospitalization for a few days after surgery.

 

Patients tend to recover quickly after a simple appendectomy. Most patients leave the hospital in 1-3 days after the operation. Normal activities can be resumed within 1-3 weeks after leaving the hospital.

 

Recovery is slower and more complicated if the appendix has ruptured or an abscess has formed.

 

Living without an appendix causes no known health problems.
