What is Appendix?
The appendix is a small, tube-shaped pouch attached to your large intestine and located on the lower right side of the abdomen. If you are diagnosed with appendicitis, your appendix needs to be removed as quickly as possible. The human appendix serves no significant purpose, and its removal has no adverse effects on long-term health.
Appendix Surgery
Appendicitis must be treated quickly before the appendix ruptures and causes a life-threatening infection in other parts of the body. The removal of the appendix is commonly known as "appendix surgery" or "appendectomy."
Causes & Symptoms of Appendicitis
Appendicitis is caused by a number of factors, including calcified faecal deposits known as "appendix stones," hard stools, abdominal injury, appendix inflammation, blockage at the appendix's opening, intestinal worms, and tumors.
Symptoms
- Stomach ache in the right side of the lower abdomen
- Pain increases while coughing, sneezing, or walking
- Abdominal swelling
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Constipation and diarrhea
- Fever
Treatments for Appendix
Open Appendectomy
In an open appendectomy, one big (5 to 6 cm) incision is made in the lower right side of the abdomen to remove the appendix. This method is used by the surgeon rarely when it has ruptured and the abdomen has distended
Laparoscopic Appendectomy:
To avoid appendix rupture, a laparoscopic procedure is used to remove an appendix from the abdomen through three small incisions. After the surgery, dissolvable stitches are used to close these incisions. The surgical wounds are small, and the scars are small during this process.
Advantages
- Short hospital stays
- Fast recovery
- Fewer scars
- Less pain
- Lower risk of bleeding and infection
Challenges
- Damage to other organs
- Injury and bleeding
- Uncomfortable pain while sleeping
- CO2 gas may create discomfort
- Short-term pain and swelling
