Appendix in Lahore
Laparoscopic appendectomy removes an inflamed appendix through a few small cuts at our Lahore clinic in Farooq Hospital. The procedure uses a tiny camera and fine instruments to reach and detach the appendix safely. Recovery is usually quicker than with open surgery, so most patients return home within a day or two.
A laparoscopic appendectomy is surgery to remove the appendix, a small pouch attached to the large intestine, when it becomes inflamed or infected. It treats appendicitis, which usually causes sudden pain in the lower right side of the abdomen.
The surgeon makes a few small cuts in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera, along with fine instruments. The appendix is detached and lifted out through one of these small openings, and the cuts are closed with stitches or surgical tape.
It suits most people diagnosed with appendicitis, including children and adults who are otherwise fit for surgery. A doctor may advise open surgery instead if the appendix has burst or infection has spread widely.
Most patients go home within a day or two and return to light activity within a week. Heavier work and exercise usually resume after two to four weeks, once the surgeon confirms healing.
Care begins with a consultation at Farooq Hospital, DHA, where Dr. Shehryar Niazi reviews your history, explains the options and answers your questions. Surgery and follow-up are handled by the same team, so you deal with familiar faces at every step.
