Treatment & Types of Appendicitis in Telangana

Surgical removal of the appendix, known as appendectomy, performed either laparoscopically or through open surgery, remains the standard treatment and is typically curative. In select uncomplicated cases, a course of intravenous antibiotics may be used as an alternative, though surgery is generally preferred to prevent recurrence and rupture. Emergency surgery combined with antibiotics is required if the appendix has already ruptured.

Appendicitis is classified as uncomplicated (simple inflammation confined to the appendix) or complicated, which includes perforation, abscess formation, or peritonitis where the infection has spread beyond the appendix into the abdominal cavity — a distinction that significantly affects treatment urgency and approach.
