Appendicitis or appendicitis is one of the most common surgical diseases. The course of the disease varies, but it is usually characterized by pain in the right lower abdomen. In addition, fever, nausea and vomiting are common side effects.
Appendicitis occurs when the inside of one’s appendix is blocked. Appendicitis infection is caused due to pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, or parasites that affect your digestive tract. Another reason can be that the tube that joins the large intestine with the appendix is blocked with stool. In certain cases, tumors can also cause appendicitis.
In such cases, the appendix becomes sore and swollen and the blood supply stops when the swelling and soreness worsens. When enough blood doesn’t reach the organ, the appendix begins to die.
The most common signs and symptoms of Appendicitis in children and adults include:
IThe appendix is mostly removed using minimally invasive surgical techniques using small skin incisions and imaging techniques ( a special very small camera so-called keyhole surgery).
If complications arise, surgery through an open abdominal incision may be required (for example, if an appendix has ruptured into the abdominal cavity or if there is an abscess).

Appendix treatment involves surgery to remove the inflamed appendix. Before the surgery, the doctor will prescribe a dose of antibiotics to fight the infection.
A surgery is then performed to remove the appendix, called Appendectomy. This is an open surgery using an abdominal incision about 2-4 inches long. Doctors may also perform laparoscopic surgery, where the surgeon inserts specific surgical tools and a video camera into the patient’s abdomen to remove the appendix.
Laparoscopic Surgery helps you recover faster and heal with lesser pain and scarring.
Appendix can be a medical emergency and prove to be fatal if left untreated. The appendix has bacteria that are harmless, but with appendicitis, the bacteria attack the appendix. If left untreated, the appendix wall can rupture, leaking the content of the appendix into the surrounding tissues, causing a condition known as peritonitis. It can further lead to sepsis, organ failure, and even death.
After the physical examination, the physician may inquire about the symptoms to diagnose the presence of appendicitis.
Following are the diagnosed tests to determine the condition:
appendixs don't go or heal on their own. Your doctor may suggest 'watchful waiting' in the case of no symptoms. If your appendix is causing symptoms, your doctor may suggest surgery to best address your condition. Three types of surgery can be performed in appendix
1.Open Surgery
2.Laparoscopic Surgery
3.Robotic Repair Surgery
