Appendectomy Surgery In India at Affordable Cost- Appendectomy Surgery

An appendectomy is the surgical removal of a patient’s appendix, a small tube attached to the colon. Most appendectomies are performed to treat an inflamed appendix(appendicitis). Left untreated, appendicitis can cause the appendix to rupture. This, in turn, may result in a potentially life-threatening infection of the inner lining (peritoneum) of the abdomen called peritonitis...

An appendectomy is almost always performed as an emergency treatment. Most people are unaware they have appendicitis until the symptoms become severe. Symptoms of appendicitis include pain in the lower right abdomen, fever, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting...

Open Appendectomy

Open appendectomy is the traditional method and the standard treatment for appendicitis. The surgeon makes an incision in the lower right abdomen, pulls the appendix through the incision, ties it off at its base, and removes it. Care is taken to avoid spilling purulent material (pus) from the appendix while it is being removed. The incision is then sutured. If the appendix has perforated (ruptured), the surgeon cleans the pus out of the abdomen with a warm saline solution to reduce the risk for infection. A drain may be inserted through the incision to allow the pus to drain from the abdomen. In this case, the skin is not sutured, but left open and packed with sterile gauze. The gauze and drain remain in place until the pus is completely drained and there is no sign of infection...

Laparoscopic surgery

Requires just a few tiny incisions into the abdomen. A thin tube with a light and camera called a laparoscope is inserted into one of the incisions. The surgeon uses a monitor to watch the image of the appendix provided by the laparoscope and is able to remove the appendix through one of the incisions with minimum scarring...

Anesthesia

Modern surgery is possible because of the development of safe and effective anesthesia. Without the ability to eliminate pain, most surgical procedures could not be performed...

Types

There are three main types of anesthesia: local, regional, and general. The type of anesthesia used for a surgical procedure is determined by several factors:

Local Anesthesia

Local anesthesia blocks the nerves in a small, specific area of the body. For example, if a surgical procedure is performed on the right hand, a local anesthetic is used to numb that hand without affecting any other part of the body. This type of anesthesia is generally used for minor surgeries (e.g., breast biopsies, vasectomies) and to stitch small wounds. It is usually administered by injection, which can be painful. However, the discomfort only lasts for a brief moment, and the anesthesia usually takes effect very quickly....

Regional Anesthesia

Regional anesthesia numbs a large area, or region, of the body and is used for more extensive and invasive surgery. Regional anesthesia is often used for procedures involving the lower part of the body, such as caesarian sections, prostate surgery, and operations on the legs. For example, if regional anesthesia is used for prostate surgery, the patient is numb from his navel to his toes. Some patients feel pressure or tugging during surgery performed under regional anesthesia...

General Anesthesia

General anesthesia renders the patient completely unconscious and with no memory of the surgical procedure upon awakening. Because it carries a higher risk for complications than other types of anesthesia, general anesthesia is used primarily for procedures that cannot be done utilizing other methods and for patients who prefer to be asleep during surgery. General anesthesia is given intravenously or inhaled through a breathing mask, and sometimes both methods are used. Sedation may also be given before the patient is taken into the operating room....
