How is appendicitis treated?

What is the recovery time for laparoscopic surgery for appendicitis?
It takes 2-3 days to recover from laparoscopic surgery for appendicitis.
Can appendicitis reoccur after the laparoscopic procedure?
The chances of recurrence of appendicitis after laparoscopic surgery is very low.
How is the laparoscopic procedure of appendicitis done?
Laparoscopic surgery for appendicitis is performed through small incisions made in the abdomen.
The patient is given general anaesthesia for the procedure
Three small incisions are made in the abdomen
A tiny camera is inserted into the incision
The camera footage is visible on a screen that guides the doctor to perform the surgery
The appendix is removed through one of the incisions
Are there any risks involved with laparoscopic surgery for appendicitis?
There are very less complications through this laser treatment. Some of the risks may be:
Allergic or adverse reaction to anaesthesia or other drugs
Bleeding
Blood clots
Infection
Injury to adjacent organs like the small intestine, bladder or ureter
How is traditional/open surgery for appendicitis done?
The traditional procedure involves a large cut made in the abdomen which is sutured after the procedure is complete. When the appendix has burst, this surgery is preferred as the entire abdominal cavity needs to be cleaned.
Patient is given general anaesthesia for the procedure
A large cut is made in the abdomen
The appendix is directly removed from the incision
If the appendix has burst, the abdominal cavity is cleaned and then, the cut is sutured
When can you resume normal activities after an open surgery for appendicitis?
After an open surgery for appendicitis, one can resume normal routine after 4-6 weeks of the surgery.
What are the risks involved with traditional surgery for appendicitis?
The procedure involves a large cut. So, some of the risks may be:

Risks of general anaesthesia
What is lipoma?
Tumours of the fat cells are known as lipoma. They occur due to the overgrowth of fat cells
Is lipoma a cancerous growth?
It is very rare that a lipoma can turn into cancerous sarcoma which is known as liposarcoma. Require immediate treatment if a lipoma is growing or is painful.
Will a lipoma go away without treatment?
Usually lipoma won’t go away without treatment. But, in rare cases they might not require treatment and are neither painful. Rarely these lipomas can become infected.
Can a lipoma develop as cancerous growth?
Tumours of the fat cells are known as lipoma. It is very rare that a lipoma can turn into cancerous sarcoma which is known as liposarcoma.
What causes a lipoma to develop?
The exact causes of lipoma remains unclear. However, they tend to run in families and can be developed as a hereditary condition.
Who is at risk of developing lipoma?

Where do lipomas mostly grow?
Usually, lipoma can develop in any part of the body. But, arms, legs, forehead, shoulders, and trunk are where most commonly lipomas develop.
What is the role of gallbladder in the human body?
Gall bladder is a small organ that stores bile, a greenish liquid which is essential for breaking down the food we eat.
What are Gallstones?
Gallstones are (usually tiny, but sometimes larger) deposits of solid particles in the gallbladder. When there is too much cholesterol in the bile, gallstones are formed. Sometimes, gallstones also form because of calcium or bilirubin.
What are the symptoms of gallstones?
You must reach out to your doctor if you have any of the following:
Acute pain in the abdomen extending to upper back or right shoulder
Shivering and fever
Jaundice
Clay coloured stools or dark urine
Severe nausea and vomiting
Are gallstones dangerous?
The extent of danger depends on the size of stones, and the amount of time they have been left untreated. Gallstones are so common that the treatment for them has progressed by leaps and bounds in the last 10 years. The treatment for gallstones is quite simple and a surgery (if needed) takes a maximum of 30 minutes. However, delaying the treatment can be potentially hazardous.
What happens if gallstones are left untreated?
As long as you don’t have any discomfort or pain, you can ignore your gallstones. However, if you have pain, you should visit a doctor at the earliest. Leaving gallstones untreated for long can result in any of the following:
Stones in bile duct - untreated stones can pass on to bile duct causing severe pain, vomiting, and nausea. This can lead to blockage of both gallbladder and pancreas, which can cause a life-threatening condition called pancreatitis
Inflammation of bile duct: Due to gallstones, the bile duct sometimes gets swollen up. This can lead to high fever, chills and even jaundice. This inflammation can potentially spread to neighbouring organs causing severe problems.
Inflammation of gallbladder: Gallstones can cause swelling in the gallbladder also. This can cause infection, formation of pus and may even lead to death of the organ.
Cancer: Large gallstones when ignored, can also lead to the cancer of gallbladder or pancreas. 4 out of 5 people who are diagnosed with gallbladder cancer are diagnosed with gallstones early on.
Is there a cure for gallstones without surgery?
Yes, for a few cases, if the size of the stone is small (less than 1cm, but this varies across cases), stones can be dissolved by medication and by drinking plenty of water. At Ayu Health, our intent is to find the most optimal cure for our patients. The doctor will only recommend a surgical procedure if needed.
How is gallstones treated by surgery?
The most common treatment across the world for gallstones is gallbladder removal surgery, also known as Cholecystectomy. This is the shortest and the best way known to relieve discomfort caused by gallstones.
Is it OK to remove the entire gallbladder for treating gallstones?
Yes, absolutely. Removing the gallbladder does not really affect your life too much. The bile will directly flow from the liver into the small intestine. This can sometimes cause indigestion and loose stools. To avoid this, the only change you need to make after the surgery is changing your diet by decreasing the amount of oily, fatty and spicy food.
What is laparoscopic procedure?
Laparoscopic procedure for gallbladder removal involves the use of a laparoscope, a long, thin probe that allows for the surgery to be done with a very small incision. The procedure lasts for <30 minutes and patients are typically able to resume normal routine from the very next day!
Are there any advantages of laparoscopic procedure over traditional procedure?
Laparoscopic procedure is typically favoured by surgeons these days as it is a faster procedure (<30 minutes), involves <1 cm cut / incision which significantly reduces infection risk, and allows for a faster recovery. Patients can typically resume normal routine from the very next day.
Is laparoscopic procedure covered by insurance?
Yes, most insurance schemes cover laparoscopic cholecystectomy. For more information on your scheme, you can contact our health representatives.

Can phimosis affect fertility?
