Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes blocked by stool, a foreign body, or infection, leading to swelling and pus formation. This blockage causes severe pain, usually in the lower right side of the abdomen. The only effective treatment for appendicitis is surgical removal of the appendix, known as appendectomy.
There are two main surgical methods — laparoscopic appendectomy (keyhole surgery) and open appendectomy (traditional surgery). Laparoscopic surgery is the preferred method due to its smaller incisions, faster healing, and lower complication rate.
