Treatment of appendicitis

Surgical removal of the appendix is the standard of care for the treatment of appendicitis. This can be done laparoscopically or even with single-incision surgery through the navel. Open surgery may be needed rarely for very complicated cases. Laparoscopic surgery leads to much lesser pain and early recovery. Most patients are able to get discharged from the hospital within 24 hours after their surgery. In some cases, the doctor, the best laparoscopic surgeon in Mumbai, may choose to treat with antibiotics initially and perform the surgery after a few weeks (interval appendicectomy).
