Can appendicitis be treated with laparoscopy?
Disease description:
I have appendicitis and am experiencing severe abdominal pain. I want to go to the hospital for treatment. Can appendicitis be treated with laparoscopic surgery?
Appendicitis can be treated with laparoscopic surgery, specifically laparoscopic appendectomy, which achieves a curative outcome and prevents recurrence after treatment. This approach is a minimally invasive procedure associated with relatively quick recovery. Laparoscopic treatment for appendicitis is a commonly used method, and the technique is well-established. In contrast, conservative management carries a certain risk of recurrence.
