Laparoscopic Appendix Surgery in Pune | Gastroenterologist-Dr. Ujwal Zambare

What is Laparoscopic Appendectomy?

The appendix is a small, finger-shaped organ attached to the large intestine in the lower right abdomen. While it has no essential function in humans, it can become inflamed (appendicitis), requiring immediate removal to prevent complications. If left untreated, the appendix may rupture, leading to peritonitis, a serious abdominal infection.

A Laparoscopic Appendectomy is a minimally invasive surgery performed through small incisions using a camera-guided technique. This advanced approach offers faster recovery, reduced pain, minimal scarring, and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.

What are the Symptoms of Appendicitis?

Abdominal pain may begin in the upper-middle abdomen then develop to sharp localized pain
Abdominal pain may be worse when walking or coughing
Fever usually occurs within several hours
Loss of appetite
Nausea
Vomiting
Constipation
Rectal tenderness
Chills and shaking

What Are The Risks of Waiting To Have My Appendix Removed?

Since the appendix is infected, it needs to be removed to ensure that the organ does not rupture. Early, non-ruptured appendix usually can be removed laparoscopically, but if the infection has advanced, it is more difficult to use this minimally invasive surgery. In these cases, the surgeon may recommend that you have an open procedure. A ruptured appendix is a life-threatening emergency, so patients should not wait to have surgery.

How Is An Appendectomy Performed?

Minimally invasive surgery involves inserting special instruments and a laparoscope through small incisions in the abdomen. The laparoscope is a thin, lighted instrument with a small camera that sends pictures of the inside of your body to a video screen. Your surgeon sees the inside of your abdomen on the screen while performing the surgery. Minimally invasive surgery generally involves a faster recovery and less pain than open surgery. This is because it causes less trauma to tissues and organs. Your surgeon makes several small incisions instead of a larger one used in open surgery. Your surgeon threads surgical tools around structures, such as muscle, instead of cutting through or displacing them as in open surgery.
Open surgery involves making a large incision in the abdomen. Open surgery allows your surgeon to view and access the surgical area directly. Open surgery generally involves a longer recovery and more pain than minimally invasive surgery. This is because it causes more trauma to tissues. Open surgery requires a larger incision and more cutting and displacement of muscle and other tissues than minimally invasive surgery. Despite this, open surgery may be a safer or more effective method for certain patients.
