Laparoscopic Appendectomy in West Bengal

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.
