Emergency & elective laparoscopic appendectomy in Vizag, Hyderabad & Vijayawada. 3 tiny cuts, home in 24 hours.
Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix — a finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine in the lower right abdomen. When the appendix becomes blocked and infected, it causes severe abdominal pain that worsens rapidly. Without treatment, the appendix can burst (perforate), spreading infection throughout the abdominal cavity — a life-threatening emergency.
SurgiKure performs laparoscopic appendectomy — removal of the inflamed appendix through 3 tiny keyhole incisions under general anaesthesia. The procedure takes 30-45 minutes, and most patients are discharged within 24 hours with minimal post-operative pain and a quick return to normal activities.
Inflamed but intact appendix. Laparoscopic appendectomy is straightforward with excellent outcomes. Home within 24 hours.
Ruptured appendix with pus. Requires emergency surgery with abdominal washout. Longer hospital stay.
A walled-off abscess around the appendix. May be drained first with antibiotics, followed by interval appendectomy 6-8 weeks later.
Gold standard. The inflamed appendix is removed through 3 tiny incisions using a camera and instruments. Takes 30-45 minutes under general anaesthesia. Home within 24 hours.
A single right lower quadrant incision to remove the appendix. Used for perforated appendicitis with extensive contamination or when laparoscopy is not feasible.
For carefully selected uncomplicated appendicitis, IV antibiotics can resolve the inflammation temporarily. However, 30% recur within 5 years. Surgery remains the definitive treatment.
