About Appendectomy

Appendectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the appendix—a small, tube-like organ located in the lower right abdomen, attached to the large intestine. While the appendix is not vital, its inflammation (appendicitis) can lead to serious complications if not treated in time.

At Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, this procedure is performed by an experienced surgical team, using both minimally invasive and classical techniques tailored to the patient’s condition.

When is appendectomy necessary?

Acute appendicitis

Inflammation of the appendix causing severe abdominal pain, fever, nausea, or vomiting.

Complications of appendicitis

When the appendix ruptures (perforation), peritonitis or abscess formation may occur, requiring urgent surgery.

How to prepare for surgery?

Since appendectomy is typically an emergency procedure, preparation is minimal but includes:

Tests

Blood tests to detect inflammation, abdominal ultrasound or CT to confirm diagnosis.

Fasting

Avoid food and drink for several hours before surgery.

How is appendectomy performed?

1. Laparoscopic appendectomy

This is a minimally invasive technique using small incisions to introduce surgical instruments and a camera to view and remove the appendix.

Advantages:

  • Faster recovery.
  • Less postoperative pain.
  • Small, aesthetic scars.
2. Traditional (open) appendectomy

Performed through a larger incision.

Recommended in complicated cases, such as perforated appendicitis or severe infection.

Recovery after appendectomy

Recovery after appendectomy

1. Hospital stay
Most patients stay 1–3 days in the hospital.
2. Diet
Initially easily digestible foods, then gradually returning to a normal diet.
3. Resuming activities
Daily activities can usually be resumed after 1–2 weeks, depending on the condition.
