Treatment of Appendicitis

The best treatment option for appendicitis is surgery so that the appendix may be removed before it ruptures or bursts open. This kind of surgery is called an appendectomy which is now days done laproscopically. This is a minimalist invasive ‘keyhole’ procedure where incisions are made in abdominal area. A small camera guided by the surgeon assists in the removal of the appendix. In some cases, however, an open surgical procedure may be required for removal of the appendix.
