Appendicitis Surgery in Kolkata

What is Appendicitis Surgery?

Appendicitis surgery is a procedure done to remove the appendix. It is a small, tube-like structure attached to the large intestine. Surgery is helpful when the condition becomes inflamed or infected.

Types of Appendicitis Surgery

There are two main types of appendicitis surgery: Laparoscopic Appendectomy and Open Appendectomy. Each method is chosen based on the severity of the condition and the patient’s overall health.

Laparoscopic Appendectomy

Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive procedure commonly used for uncomplicated appendicitis.

Open Appendectomy (Traditional Approach)

Open appendectomy is the traditional method used in cases where appendicitis is complicated, such as when the appendix has ruptured.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery for Appendicitis

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that offers several advantages over traditional open surgery for appendicitis. Here are the key benefits:

Smaller Incisions

Laparoscopic surgery utilises small incisions, which reduces scarring and promotes faster healing.

Quicker Recovery

Patients typically recover faster than those undergoing open surgery. It allows for a quicker return to daily activities.

Open Appendectomy (Traditional Approach)

Open appendectomy is the traditional method used in cases where appendicitis is complicated, such as when the appendix has ruptured.

What to Expect while Recovering from Appendicitis Surgery?

Here’s a guide to what you can expect during recovery:

Immediate Post-Surgery Care

After the surgery, you’ll be monitored in the hospital for a few hours to ensure that your vital signs remain stable. If you had laparoscopic surgery, you may go home within 1-2 days. If you had open surgery or complications, a longer hospital stay may be required. Pain relievers, prescribed by the surgeon, will help manage the discomfort. You may also be given antibiotics if there is any infection.

Activity Restrictions

During the first few days post-surgery, it’s important to get plenty of rest. Avoid any strenuous activity, including lifting heavy objects, bending, or exercising. Follow the doctor’s recommendations on when to start light activities.

Wound Care

Your surgical incisions (whether small for laparoscopic surgery or larger for open surgery) will need proper care to prevent infection. Keep the area clean and dry, and follow the surgeon’s guidelines for cleaning and dressing changes.

Diet and Hydration

After surgery, you may need to begin with clear liquids, gradually progressing to solid foods.

Follow-Up Appointments

You will likely have a follow-up appointment with the surgeon within 1-2 weeks after surgery. During this appointment, the doctor will check the healing progress, address any concerns, and remove any stitches or staples if necessary.

Long-Term Recovery

Most people recover fully within 4-6 weeks, but this can vary depending on the type of surgery and individual healing rates. For laparoscopic surgery, recovery is usually quicker, and patients can resume normal activities in about 2-3 weeks.
