What is Laparoscopic Appendectomy?
Laparoscopic Appendectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the appendix, typically performed to treat appendicitis—an inflammation of the appendix causing severe abdominal pain, fever, or nausea. Using small incisions and a laparoscope, this technique allows for precise removal of the appendix, offering faster recovery and fewer complications compared to open surgery.
Common indications include:
- Acute appendicitis with abdominal pain, fever, or nausea
- Chronic appendicitis with recurring symptoms
- Appendix abscess or perforation
- Suspected appendiceal tumors (rare)
At Dr. Abhishek Saxena’s Clinic in Bareilly, we provide advanced laparoscopic appendectomy for effective treatment of appendicitis.
