Laparoscopic Appendix Removal in Bathinda

Emergency & Planned Appendix Surgery by Expert Surgeon in Bathinda

Appendicitis is a medical emergency that requires immediate surgical intervention. If you or a family member needs appendix surgery in Bathinda, Dr. Raman Garg provides prompt and safe laparoscopic appendectomy with excellent outcomes.

Laparoscopic appendix removal is the preferred surgical method as it offers faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to open surgery. At Bombay Gastro & Cancer Institute, we are equipped to handle both emergency and planned appendix surgeries.

Symptoms of Appendicitis

  • Sudden pain starting near the belly button
  • Pain shifting to lower right abdomen
  • Pain worsens with coughing or movement
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Low-grade fever
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Abdominal bloating

Causes of Appendicitis

Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes blocked, often by stool, foreign body, or cancer. The blockage leads to infection as bacteria multiply rapidly, causing the appendix to become inflamed, swollen, and filled with pus. If not treated promptly, the appendix can rupture, causing a life-threatening infection (peritonitis).

Appendicitis can occur at any age but is most common between 10 and 30 years old. It requires immediate medical attention.
