Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix, which is an 8-9 cm long tube of tissue extending from the large intestine.

The appendix (appendix), also known as the cecum, is the worm-like structure at the junction of the small intestine and the large intestine, inflammation of this organ is called appendicitis.

Appendicide treatment

A physical exam is done to diagnose appendicitis. If there is tenderness and pain in the abdomen, a blood count may be requested to get information about the bacterial infection.

There is no definitive blood test that can directly establish the diagnosis of appendicitis. Although the treatment for the condition can vary from person to person, it is usually treated with surgery.

The type of surgery depends on the patient’s condition. If the abscess in the appendix area is not ruptured or ruptured, antibiotic treatment is first administered by the doctor.

Then, with the help of a tube passed through the skin, the abscess of the organ can be drained and, if necessary, the appendix can be removed after the procedure.

If there is a tear or leak in the appendix, surgery should be done as soon as possible. Removal of the appendix, called an appendectomy, can be open surgery or laparoscopic surgery.
