What is appendicitis?
Appendicitis is acute inflammation of the appendix. It is a surgical emergency — without timely treatment, the appendix can rupture and cause life-threatening peritonitis.
Laparoscopic appendectomy is the standard treatment: 3 small incisions, camera-guided removal, faster recovery vs open surgery, less infection risk, return to work in 1-2 weeks.
