What is Appendix?

Appendix Operation

The appendix is a small, finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine on the lower right side of the abdomen. Appendicitis is a condition in which the appendix becomes inflamed, swollen, and filled with infection. If left untreated, an inflamed appendix can burst and spread infection throughout the abdomen — a life-threatening emergency. An appendix operation — also called appendectomy — is the surgical removal of the inflamed appendix and is the standard and most effective treatment for appendicitis.

At Himas Hospital, Basavanagudi, we perform laparoscopic appendix surgery — the most advanced, minimally invasive technique available today. This approach results in significantly less pain, smaller scars, faster recovery, and a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional open appendix surgery.

Sudden severe pain that begins around the navel and moves to the lower right abdomen

Pain that worsens with movement, coughing, or pressing the abdomen

Nausea and vomiting

Fever that may rise if the appendix bursts

Bloating, diarrhoea, or constipation in some cases

At Himas Hospital we perform advanced laparoscopic appendix surgery using small incisions and modern surgical equipment.

Step 1: The patient is given general anaesthesia and prepared for surgery.

Step 2: The surgeon makes three small incisions in the abdomen.

Step 3: Carbon dioxide gas is used to gently inflate the abdomen.

Step 4: A tiny camera (laparoscope) provides a clear magnified view.

Step 5: The inflamed appendix is carefully removed.

Step 6: The patient usually goes home within 24 hours.
