Appendicitis

Appendicitis is a condition in which the appendix, a small pouch-like organ attached to the large intestine, becomes inflamed and swollen. The exact cause of appendicitis is not known, but it is believed to occur when the appendix becomes blocked, often by stool, mucus, or foreign matter.

Symptoms of appendicitis can include sudden, severe pain in the lower right side of the abdomen, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, fever, and constipation or diarrhea.

Diagnosis of appendicitis typically involves a physical exam and imaging tests such as a CT scan or ultrasound.

Treatment for appendicitis usually involves emergency surgery to remove the appendix, a procedure known as an appendectomy. Antibiotics may also be used to treat or prevent infection.

If you are experiencing symptoms of appendicitis, it's important to seek medical attention right away, as untreated appendicitis can lead to serious complications such as a ruptured appendix and widespread infection. Early treatment and prompt medical care can help improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.

Disease Causes

Appendicitis

A blockage in the lining of the appendix that results in infection is the likely cause of appendicitis. The bacteria multiply rapidly, causing the appendix to become inflamed, swollen and filled with pus. If not treated promptly, the appendix can rupture.

Disease Treatments

Appendicitis

Appendicitis treatment usually involves surgery to remove the inflamed appendix. Before surgery you may be given a dose of antibiotics to treat infection.

Surgery to remove the appendix (appendectomy)

Appendectomy can be performed as open surgery using one abdominal incision about 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters) long (laparotomy). Or the surgery can be done through a few small abdominal incisions (laparoscopic surgery). During a laparoscopic appendectomy, the surgeon inserts special surgical tools and a video camera into your abdomen to remove your appendix.

In general, laparoscopic surgery allows you to recover faster and heal with less pain and scarring. It may be better for older adults and people with obesity.

But laparoscopic surgery isn't appropriate for everyone. If your appendix has ruptured and infection has spread beyond the appendix or you have an abscess, you may need an open appendectomy, which allows your surgeon to clean the abdominal cavity.

Expect to spend one or two days in the hospital after your appendectomy.

Draining an abscess before appendix surgery

If your appendix has burst and an abscess has formed around it, the abscess may be drained by placing a tube through your skin into the abscess. Appendectomy can be performed several weeks later after controlling the infection.
