Laparoscopic Appendectomy

Laparoscopic Appendectomy is the surgical method to remove inflamed appendix in case of appendicitis.

Traditionally the appendix is removed through an incision in the right lower abdominal wall. In most Laparoscopic Appendectomies, surgeons operate through 3 small incisions (each ¼ to ½ inch) while watching an enlarged image of the patient's internal organs on a television monitor.
