Appendix Surgery
Safe, Painless & Quick Recovery with Laparoscopic Appendix Removal
Appendicitis is a medical emergency that requires timely attention and expert care.
With 41+ years of surgical experience, Dr. Hemendra Singh (MBBS, MS – General Surgery) specializes in Laparoscopic Appendix Surgery (Appendectomy) – a modern, minimally invasive procedure ensuring faster recovery, minimal pain, and tiny scars.
What Is the Appendix?
The appendix is a small, finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine on the lower right side of the abdomen.
Its exact function is not vital for digestion, but when it becomes inflamed or infected (a condition called appendicitis), it can cause severe abdominal pain and must be treated immediately.
What Is Appendicitis?
Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes blocked by stool, infection, or foreign material, leading to swelling and bacterial growth.
If left untreated, it can burst (rupture) and spread infection throughout the abdomen — a life-threatening emergency requiring urgent surgery.
Common Symptoms of Appendicitis
Sudden pain starting around the navel and moving to the lower right abdomen
Loss of appetite
Nausea or vomiting
Fever and fatigue
Abdominal swelling or tenderness
Constipation or diarrhea
If you experience these symptoms, seek immediate medical help.

Benefits:

✅ Faster healing and discharge
✅ Low risk of infection
✅ Resume routine work in a few days
2. Open Appendectomy
Used in complicated or ruptured cases. A single incision is made in the lower abdomen to remove the appendix and clean any infection.
Benefits:
✅ Best for severe or advanced infections
✅ Complete removal of inflamed tissues
