Performed to treat acute appendicitis, where the appendix becomes blocked, often by hardened stool or swollen lymphoid tissue, and becomes inflamed and infected. If untreated, an inflamed appendix can rupture, spilling infection into the abdominal cavity and causing life-threatening peritonitis, which is why prompt surgery is standard once appendicitis is diagnosed.

Signs You May Need Appendectomy

Classic symptoms are pain starting near the navel that migrates to the lower right abdomen, worsening with movement or coughing, along with fever, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Tenderness and guarding when the lower right abdomen is pressed is a key clinical sign doctors look for.

Types of Appendectomy

Laparoscopic appendectomy, using small incisions and a camera, is now the standard approach with faster recovery and less scarring, while open appendectomy through a single larger incision is reserved for complicated cases like a ruptured appendix with abscess. In select uncomplicated cases, antibiotics alone are sometimes tried instead of surgery, though surgery remains the definitive treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is appendectomy an emergency surgery?

Yes, it's usually performed urgently once appendicitis is confirmed, to prevent rupture and more serious infection.

How long is the hospital stay?

Typically 1-3 days for laparoscopic surgery, longer if the appendix had already ruptured.

Can appendicitis be treated without surgery?

In some uncomplicated, early cases antibiotics alone can resolve the episode, but recurrence is possible, so surgery remains the more definitive standard treatment.

How soon can I return to normal activities?

Most people resume light activities within a week or two after laparoscopic surgery, with full recovery by about 3 weeks.

What happens if the appendix bursts before surgery?

A ruptured appendix requires more extensive surgery and antibiotic treatment for the resulting infection, with a longer hospital stay and recovery than an uncomplicated case.
