Appendicitis Surgery in Gurgaon

Appendicitis is known to be fatal if left untreated. There are chances of patient developing peritonitis which is a life-threatening illness, hence report to the doctor soon if you notice: changes in your dietary patterns because of chronic abdomen pain, persistent vomiting and a loss of appetite. If the doctor suspects appendicitis, he/she orders few pathological and diagnostic tests to confirm or erase the need for an appendectomy. Few of them are as follows:

• Ultrasound - Ultrasound scanning modality, which is also known by the name of sonography, is a technique that uses sound waves for producing pictures of the aimed linings and structures of affected organs in the body. In this context, an appendix organ which has expanded out of proportion is cause to get recommended for an appendectomy.
• X-ray - X-ray of abdomen helps the doctor in detecting and viewing the enlarged appendix and also in pointing cause of the same.
• Blood tests: An increased white blood cell count can probably be because of an enlarged or swollen appendix organ.
• CT scan: A Computerized Tomography scan generates detailed images of the intended body structure. It is considered more reliable than any other imaging modality and also helps the doctor know whether the patient really needs to undergo appendix removal.
• Urine tests: Tests to rule out any urine infection are ordered before deciding whether the patient has any kind of urinary infection and that he requires appendectomy, or the swelling is good to go through medicines.
• Laparoscopy: The pelvic organs and affected area of appendix are observed through an instrument called laparoscope. The affected area can be extracted after it is sighted through the laparoscope.
