Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix and may progress to perforation and intra-abdominal complications. Appendectomy removes the inflamed appendix and may be performed laparoscopically through small incisions or through an open approach. At Ahvar Clinic, the surgical strategy is determined by the patient’s condition and characteristics of the disease.
