Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix, typically performed as an emergency procedure to treat appendicitis. Laparoscopic (keyhole) technique is preferred for quicker recovery, minimal pain, and less scarring.

Benefits:

• Minimally invasive laparoscopic approach
• Faster recovery and early return to routine
• Less postoperative pain and scarring
• Shorter hospital stay

Common Reasons for Surgery:

• Acute appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix)
• Severe abdominal pain in lower right quadrant
• Appendix rupture or abscess
• Prevent complications like peritonitis
