Frequently Asked Questions

An appendectomy involves the removal of the appendix, a tube-like organ attached to the large intestine.

An appendectomy is necessary when the appendix becomes inflamed, infected, or ruptured, which can cause severe abdominal pain and other complications.

The two main types of appendectomy are open appendectomy, which involves making a larger incision in the abdomen, and laparoscopic appendectomy, which involves using a camera and small instruments through a few small incisions.

The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and involves removing the appendix through an incision in the abdomen or through small incisions with a laparoscope.

The risks of an appendectomy are bleeding, infection, damage to surrounding organs, and complications from anaesthesia.

Possible complications of an appendectomy include wound infection, abscess formation, and intestinal blockage.

Recovery time depends on the type of surgery and the individual, but most people return to normal activities in a few weeks. But after laparoscopic surgery, recovery is shorter and one can resume routine activities within a few days and return to normal activity in one week.

The duration of hospital stay depends on the type of surgery and the individual. Still, most people are discharged within 1-2 days after a laparoscopic appendectomy and 2-3 days after an open appendectomy.

Yes, a laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive option that involves smaller incisions and typically has a faster recovery time.

No, it is important to fast for a certain period before the surgery to reduce the risk of complications.

General anaesthesia is typically used for an appendectomy.

Preparing for an appendectomy may involve fasting, stopping certain medications, and following your surgeon's instructions.

After an appendectomy, you may experience pain, fatigue, and difficulty with activities such as lifting and bending.

Pain management options after an appendectomy can include OTC (over-the-counter) pain medications, prescription pain medications, and other treatments such as heat therapy.

While rare, an appendectomy can cause wound infection or other types of infection.

Yes, bleeding is a possible complication of an appendectomy, although it is rare. It can occur during the surgery or postoperatively. If it occurs during the surgery, the surgeon will control the bleeding immediately. However, if it occurs postoperatively, it may require additional surgery to stop the bleeding.

An appendectomy can cause a hernia, although it is rare. A hernia can occur when a tissue or an organ sticks out through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue. In some cases, an incisional hernia may develop at the site of the surgical incision.

Yes, an appendectomy may cause adhesions (bands of scar tissue forming between organs or tissues) that are not normally connected. Adhesions can cause pain, bowel obstruction, and other complications.

Chronic abdominal pain is a rare complication of an appendectomy, but it can occur. In some cases, the pain may be due to adhesions or nerve damage caused by the surgery.

No, once the appendix is removed, it cannot become inflamed or infected again. However, it is possible for other conditions to cause similar symptoms.

No, an appendectomy itself does not cause weight gain. However, some people may experience weight gain after the surgery due to changes in their diet or activity level during the recovery period.

It is recommended to avoid driving for at least one week after an appendectomy or until you no longer take pain medications that can impair your ability to drive.

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms after an appendectomy: persistent fever, severe pain, worsening abdominal swelling, redness or drainage at the incision site, persistent nausea or vomiting and inability to pass gas or have a bowel movement.

There is no guaranteed way to prevent appendicitis. Still, some strategies that may reduce your risk include maintaining a healthy diet and a regular exercise routine, managing stress, and seeking prompt medical attention if you experience symptoms of appendicitis.

The signs and symptoms of appendicitis are pain in the lower right side of the abdomen, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, fever, diarrhoea or constipation, and swelling or tenderness in the abdomen.

Appendicitis is diagnosed through physical exams, blood tests, and imaging tests like ultrasounds or CT scans.

The treatment for appendicitis is surgery to remove the inflamed appendix. In some cases, antibiotics may be used to treat the infection before surgery is performed.
