Symptoms of Appendectomy
Common signs that you may need Appendectomy include persistent pain, discomfort, or symptoms that have not responded to non-surgical treatment. A surgeon can evaluate whether surgery is the right option for you.
How is Appendectomy Diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, imaging (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound), and sometimes blood tests. Your surgeon will review all reports before recommending Appendectomy.
Treatment Options: Non-Surgical vs Surgical
Depending on severity, doctors may first recommend non-surgical approaches such as medication or physiotherapy. If these are not effective, Appendectomy is advised.

Appendectomy is typically performed under anaesthesia. The surgeon may use laparoscopic (minimally invasive) or open techniques depending on the case. The procedure usually takes 1–3 hours.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients return to normal activities within 2–6 weeks after Appendectomy. Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions including diet, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Appendectomy take?
Procedure duration varies by complexity, but most laparoscopic surgeries take 30–90 minutes depending on the case.
Is laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery available?
For many procedures, laparoscopic techniques are available and offer faster recovery, smaller incisions, and less post-operative pain. Your surgeon will advise whether it is suitable for your case.
What happens during a pre-operative consultation?
The surgeon reviews your medical history, orders necessary tests, explains the procedure, discusses anaesthesia, and answers all your questions.
What is the difference between open and laparoscopic Appendectomy?
Open surgery uses a single larger incision, while laparoscopic surgery uses a few small incisions and a camera — typically resulting in less pain, fewer complications, and faster recovery.
