Emergency Appendectomy in Karnataka

Why Emergency Appendectomy Is Needed

This emergency surgery is performed when the appendix becomes inflamed and ruptures or perforates, most often due to a blockage from hardened stool, swollen lymphoid tissue, or, rarely, a tumor, leading to bacterial infection and pus buildup. Once perforation occurs, infection can spread into the abdominal cavity, making immediate surgical removal necessary to prevent peritonitis and sepsis.
