What is Appendix?
The Appendix is a small, finger-shaped structure that is attached to the large intestine (colon) on the lower right side of the abdomen. Though it does not play any important role, still its inflammation can cause appendicitis and result in various other health complications when not treated for longer time.
Appendicitis causes sudden pain around your navel and usually shifts to the lower abdomen. Pain gets worse when you walk or create any abrupt movement. Surgery is the only effective treatment.
What is Appendix Surgery?
Appendix surgery (appendectomy), is the surgical removal of the appendix. It is the most effective treatment for appendicitis, to prevent serious complications. The procedure involves removing the inflamed appendix prior it gets burst.
The surgery is usually performed with general anesthesia and involves two methods—open appendectomy or laparoscopic appendectomy. In an open appendectomy, a single large incision is made in the lower side of the abdomen to dissect the appendix. While in laparoscopic appendectomy, there are small incisions made and the appendix is removed using a camera and long instruments.
The second method is less invasive, thus aids in faster recovery, minimal pain and minimal scarring. The method can be opted based on the state of appendicitis and the patient's medical history.
The Goal of Appendix Surgery
Avoid Appendix Burst-Out
Main goal to remove inflamed appendix before it ruptures, resulting in other serious complications.
Manage Pain and Discomfort
Appendix surgery helps to manage your pain and symptoms timely related to appendicitis.
Prevent Infection and Peritonitis
Timely removal of appendix helps in preventing spread of infection to abdominal cavity, thus preventing peritonitis.
Minimize Complications
Timely surgery minimizes the risk of complications like abscess formation.
Faster Recovery
Especially the laparoscopic surgery, the goal is to ensure a faster recovery and return back to normal activities.
Minimize Recurrence
Appendectomy reduces the risks for future appendicitis.
Important Steps in the Appendix Surgery
Diagnosis
Diagnosis through physical examination, blood tests and imaging to confirm appendicitis.
Anesthesia
Applying general anesthesia to ensure that the patient is free from all discomfort and pain during surgery.
Incision
One large incision for open surgery or several small incisions for laparoscopic surgery.
Appendix Removal
Careful removal of inflamed appendix while safeguarding the surrounding tissues.
Closing Incisions
Incisions are closed using stitches or staples with high precision.
Postoperative Care
Monitoring the patient’s recovery process, pain management and activity restrictions.
Symptoms of Appendicitis
The presentation of acute appendicitis can vary, but the classic symptoms include:
- Abdominal Pain: Acute appendicitis typically presents as vague abdominal pain that starts around the umbilical region and later localizes to the right lower part of the abdomen.
- Nausea and Vomiting: Nausea and vomiting may occur after the onset of abdominal pain.
- Anorexia: Loss of appetite is a common early symptom.
- Fever: A low-grade fever may be present; high fever can indicate complications like perforation.
- Rebound Tenderness: Severe pain when pressure in the right lower abdomen is suddenly released.
Stages of Appendicitis
Appendicitis advances through various stages and understanding them can assist in creating personalized treatment plans.
Acute Appendicitis
Sudden inflammation causing pain, nausea, and fever. Needs timely surgery.
Suppurative Appendicitis
Appendix swells and fills with pus leading to intense pain and fever.
Gangrenous Appendicitis
Inflammation restricts blood flow leading to tissue death and severe complications.
Perforated Appendicitis
Appendix ruptures spreading infection across abdomen; requires emergency surgery.
Appendiceal Abscess
Pus-filled pocket forms when burst appendix is walled off by tissues; needs drainage plus surgery.
Diagnosis of Appendicitis
The diagnosis of acute appendicitis is primarily clinical but often supplemented by imaging and laboratory tests to confirm and assess the severity.
Physical Examination
Abdominal examination, checking for rebound tenderness and other diagnostic signs.
Blood Tests
Complete blood count (CBC) to check for elevated white blood cell count indicating infection.
Ultrasound
Imaging test that can visualize the appendix and detect signs of inflammation or blockage.
CT Scan
Detailed imaging providing clear visualization of the appendix and surrounding structures.
