Laparoscopic Appendectomy

Laparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove your appendix, a small organ in the lower right part of your belly. Surgeons usually recommend it when the appendix is infected or inflamed — a condition called appendicitis.

Instead of one large cut, doctors make a few small incisions. This allows for quicker healing and less pain.


Appendicitis can be dangerous if not treated in time. You may need surgery if you have:

  • Sudden pain in the lower right side of your abdomen
  • Fever, nausea, or vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Bloating or abdominal tenderness
  • A confirmed diagnosis of appendicitis through scans or tests

If left untreated, a swollen appendix can burst, causing a life-threatening infection called peritonitis.


At A1 Laparoscopy Hospital, our skilled surgeons perform the procedure in these steps:

  • You receive general anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain.
  • The surgeon makes 2–3 small incisions in your abdomen.
  • A laparoscope (tiny camera) helps guide the surgery.
  • The appendix is carefully removed using special instruments.
  • The area is cleaned, and the cuts are closed with stitches or glue.

The entire process usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. In most cases, patients return home within a day.


Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic appendectomy offers several advantages:

  • Smaller scars and better cosmetic results
  • Less pain after surgery
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Faster return to normal life
  • Lower risk of wound infections

  • Avoid heavy lifting for 2–3 weeks

Q. Is appendix surgery painful?
Ans: You won’t feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, mild discomfort is normal and can be managed with medication.

Q. Can I live without an appendix?
Ans: Yes. The appendix does not affect digestion or health once removed.

Q. What if my appendix has already burst?
Ans: We still perform surgery, but recovery may take a little longer due to infection control.
