Appendix Surgery In India

An appendix is a kind of sac present in the lower end of the body's large intestine. This sac looks like a tube shape but does not have an important role in the body. Without the presence of an appendix, a person can stay healthy. However, the appendix can expand and cause pain and swelling in the body. As a result, undergoing surgery becomes necessary to prevent it from bursting. The success rate of appendix surgery in India is as high as 95%, which is why this country is one of the most preferred.

Appendix Diagnosis

In order to ensure the patient has an appendix, the doctor takes the history of symptoms and assesses the abdomen. The doctor advises undergoing several tests and examinations to diagnose the appendix. Physical Examination. Physical examination helps to inspect the state of pain. The doctor gently applies pressure on the hurtful area. After pressure release, the pain in the appendix usually worsens. Hence, indicating the inflamed adjacent peritoneum. Blood test. This shows an increased number of white blood cells which may be a sign of infection. Urine test. A urine test confirms that the pain isn't a cause of a kidney stone or urinary tract infection. Imaging tests. This may include USG, CT scan or MRI to confirm the appendix.

Surgery

The inflamed appendix gives rise to unbearable pain and discomfort. Therefore post-diagnosis, the doctor extracts the appendix to prevent the risk of appendicitis. The doctor separates the appendix and the mesentery. Mesentery works to send blood to the smaller intestines. Therefore, the doctor closes the blood vessels to avoid bleeding. Now the appendix has only a connection with the colon. The next step is to use clams and crush the base of the appendix. This allows placing a pre-tied suture to tie off the lower end of the appendix. After securing the stitches, the surgeon makes a cut just above the knot but below the clamp to remove the appendix. Lastly, the doctor checks the area to make sure of no internal bleeding.
