Laparoscopic Appendectomy
An Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine. When the appendix becomes inflamed (Appendicitis), prompt surgical intervention is required to prevent rupture and serious infection.
Emergency & Elective Care
The "Keyhole" Approach to Appendectomy
Using the laparoscopic or "keyhole" method, our surgeons can remove an inflamed appendix through tiny incisions, offering a modern alternative to the large traditional "open" incision.
- Minimally Invasive: Performed using 3 small incisions (5mm to 10mm) in the abdominal wall.
- Advanced Visualization: A laparoscope provides a magnified view of the internal organs, allowing the surgeon to clean any localized infection around the appendix.
- The Process: The appendix is carefully clipped at its base and removed through one of the small ports.
Patient Advantages
Why Choose Laparoscopic Removal?
