Laparoscopic Appendectomy in Karnataka

Why Laparoscopic Appendectomy Is Needed

This surgery is performed for acute appendicitis, where the appendix becomes blocked, typically by hardened stool, swollen lymphoid tissue, or rarely a tumor, leading to bacterial infection and inflammation. If untreated, the inflamed appendix can rupture and cause life-threatening peritonitis, which is why prompt removal is recommended once appendicitis is confirmed.
