Laparoscopic Appendectomy

An appendectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix. Appendectomy is the standard surgical treatment for appendicitis, a painful inflammation of the appendix. Because an inflamed appendix can potentially rupture, appendicitis is considered a medical emergency. A ruptured appendix can be very dangerous. A healthy appendix, on the other hand, does not appear to have any essential function in the digestive system. If you need to have your appendix removed, you won't miss out.
