Appendectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine. The appendix is a part of the human body that doesn't have any known function but can become inflamed and infected, causing a condition called appendicitis. Appendicitis is considered a medical emergency and requires immediate medical attention. Common symptoms include severe abdominal pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. If left untreated, the appendix can burst, leading to a life-threatening infection in the abdomen. During an appendectomy, a surgeon makes a small incision in the lower right side of the abdomen and removes the inflamed appendix. In some cases, laparoscopic surgery is performed, which involves making several small incisions and using a camera and specialized instruments to remove the appendix. Recovery time after an appendectomy varies depending on the patient's overall health and the type of surgery performed. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days to a week after surgery. Pain medications may be prescribed to manage discomfort during the healing process.
