Laparoscopic Appendectomy
Laparoscopic Appendectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove an inflamed appendix using small incisions and a camera-guided technique.
Causes:
Appendicitis typically occurs due to a blockage in the appendix, often from stool, infection, or foreign bodies, leading to swelling and infection.
Symptoms:
Treatment:
Laparoscopic surgery involves 3 small incisions, insertion of a laparoscope (camera), and precise removal of the appendix. It results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to open surgery.
Prevention:
There is no guaranteed prevention for appendicitis, but maintaining a high-fiber diet with fruits and vegetables may lower the risk.
